Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In May 2021 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Landscapes After Ancient Masters by Wang Hui. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 2,750,000.00 (€ 290,696.24), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Hui achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Endless Streams and Mountains in July 2020 with an auction result of HKD 28,925,000.00 (€ 3,169,122.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Landscapes After Ancient Masters von Wang Hui zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 2.750.000,00 (€ 290.696,24) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Hui erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Endless Streams and Mountains im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 28.925.000,00 (€ 3.169.122,64).
