Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Calligraphy Couplet In Seal Script by Wang Ti was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,994.33). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Ti - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Seal Script, which sold at auction in March 2014 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 19,960.80).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Seal Script von Wang Ti im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.994,33) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Ti mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy In Seal Script beobachtet, die im März 2014 für USD 27.500,00 (€ 19.960,80) versteigert wurde.
