In October 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale, which included the work Calligraphy in Running Script by Wang Geyi. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 5,100.00 (€ 567.30), 70% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Geyi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flower in November 2016 with an auction result of HKD 401,200.00 (€ 48,888.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Wang Geyi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 5.100,00 (€ 567,30) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Geyi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flower im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 401.200,00 (€ 48.888,90).
