Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2015 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Hut By The Stream by Wang Shimin. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 2,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 2,200,000.00 (€ 268,699.11). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Shimin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Reading in the Autumn Mountain, which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 10,180,000.00 (€ 1,060,485.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2015 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hut By The Stream von Wang Shimin zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 2.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 2.200.000,00 (€ 268.699,11) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Shimin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Reading in the Autumn Mountain beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für HKD 10.180.000,00 (€ 1.060.485,28) versteigert wurde.
