A top price for Wang Shou
When the work Cursive Script Calligraphy by Wang Shou was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at HKD 400,000.00 (€ 45,779.89). This high result makes Cursive Script Calligraphy the most expensive artwork by Wang Shou that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Wang Shou
Als die Arbeit Cursive Script Calligraphy von Wang Shou im Mai 2019 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 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 400.000,00 (€ 45.779,89) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Cursive Script Calligraphy zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wang Shou, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
