Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Calligraphy in Running Script by Wang Wenzhi for HKD 27,500.00 (€ 3,114.95). This price was achieved in the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online including the Collection of Sun Ah Book Center at Christies and was even below the estimate range of HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Wenzhi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy After Masters in April this year with an auction result of HKD 516,000.00 (€ 526,936.96).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Calligraphy in Running Script von Wang Wenzhi für HKD 27.500,00 (€ 3.114,95) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online including the Collection of Sun Ah Book Center bei Christies erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Wenzhi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Calligraphy After Masters im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 516.000,00 (€ 526.936,96).
