Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Playing The Qin by Wen Ding was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2006. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 60,000.00 (€ 6,026.65), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wen Ding achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Journey To The Red Cliff in October 2018 with an auction result of HKD 550,000.00 (€ 61,930.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Playing The Qin von Wen Ding wurde im Mai 2006 in der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 60.000,00 (€ 6.026,65) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wen Ding erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Journey To The Red Cliff im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 550.000,00 (€ 61.930,82).
