Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Shou Character in One Hundred Scripts by Wang Xun for HKD 37,500.00 (€ 3,475.47). This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of HKD 40,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Xun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Running Script Calligraphy, which sold at auction in May 2018 for HKD 75,000.00 (€ 8,194.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Shou Character in One Hundred Scripts von Wang Xun für HKD 37.500,00 (€ 3.475,47) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy bei Christies in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 40.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Xun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Running Script Calligraphy beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für HKD 75.000,00 (€ 8.194,09) versteigert wurde.
