Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Essays By Ji Kang In Regular Script by Wang Chong was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 550,000.00 (€ 482,879.72). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wang Chong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Calligraphy In Regular Script sold at auction in April this year with the realized price of HKD 600,000.00 (€ 612,717.39).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Essays By Ji Kang In Regular Script von Wang Chong im März 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 550.000,00 (€ 482.879,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Wang Chong; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Calligraphy In Regular Script im April diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 600.000,00 (€ 612.717,39).
