This artwork by Wang Shimin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2007. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy in Standard Script sold for HKD 75,000.00 (€ 6,556.37) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Shimin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reading in the Autumn Mountain in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 10,180,000.00 (€ 1,060,485.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wang Shimin erzielte im November 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings & Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy in Standard Script für HKD 75.000,00 (€ 6.556,37) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Shimin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reading in the Autumn Mountain im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 10.180.000,00 (€ 1.060.485,28).
