Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape after Huang Gongwang by Wang Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 2,500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 9,850,000.00 (€ 1,095,220.16). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wang Jian; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Landscape After Old Masters sold at auction in March 2015 with the realized price of USD 1,450,000.00 (€ 1,349,967.41).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape after Huang Gongwang von Wang Jian im November 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 2.500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 9.850.000,00 (€ 1.095.220,16) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Wang Jian; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Landscape After Old Masters im März 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 1.450.000,00 (€ 1.349.967,41).
