Upper estimate price exceeded by 31 %.
In June this year Christies in Paris held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Bamboo and Rock by Xia Chang. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 3,276,000.00 (€ 382,800.00), 31% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Xia Chang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Xiaoxue In Small Standard Script Calligraphy in November 2005 with an auction result of HKD 15,240,000.00 (€ 1,667,480.92).

Im Juni diesen Jahres führte Christies in Paris die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bamboo and Rock von Xia Chang zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 3.276.000,00 (€ 382.800,00) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Xia Chang auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Xiaoxue In Small Standard Script Calligraphy im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 15.240.000,00 (€ 1.667.480,92).
