Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Calligraphy in Running Script by Wang Duo. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 5,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 6,300,000.00 (€ 754,963.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Duo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poems in Cursive Script Calligraphy, which sold at auction in May 2011 for HKD 32,020,000.00 (€ 2,864,337.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Wang Duo zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 5.500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 6.300.000,00 (€ 754.963,54) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Duo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Poems in Cursive Script Calligraphy beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für HKD 32.020.000,00 (€ 2.864.337,79) versteigert wurde.
