A top price for Wang Chi - as previously expected

The work Heart Sutra by Wang Chi was sold in the Fine Chinese Paintings auction at Christies in New York in March 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300.00 – 900.00, the actual price achieved of USD 375.00 (€ 304.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Heart Sutra is the most expensive artwork by Wang Chi that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Heart Sutra von Wang Chi wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300,00 – 900,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 375,00 (€ 304,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Heart Sutra das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wang Chi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
