Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Studio by West Lake by Tang Yifen was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 529,200.00 (€ 62,827.40). Admittedly, works by Tang Yifen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Jiao Shan Landscape in May 2016 with an auction result of HKD 2,240,000.00 (€ 258,902.56).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Studio by West Lake von Tang Yifen im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 529.200,00 (€ 62.827,40) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Tang Yifen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Jiao Shan Landscape im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.240.000,00 (€ 258.902,56).
