Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Landscape by Wen Zhengming was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 1,200,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 960,000.00 (€ 91,411.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wen Zhengming achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poems In Large Running Script in May 2019 with an auction result of HKD 83,227,500.00 (€ 9,525,364.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Landscape von Wen Zhengming im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 1.200.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 960.000,00 (€ 91.411,58) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wen Zhengming erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poems In Large Running Script im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 83.227.500,00 (€ 9.525.364,61).
