Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year China Guardian held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Bamboo In Wind And Bamboo In Rain by Xia Chang. The price achieved of HKD 6,000,000.00 (€ 725,586.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 5,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xia Chang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Xiaoxue In Small Standard Script Calligraphy, which sold at auction in November 2005 for HKD 15,240,000.00 (€ 1,667,480.92).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte China Guardian die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bamboo In Wind And Bamboo In Rain von Xia Chang zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 6.000.000,00 (€ 725.586,68) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 5.000.000,00 – 8.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Xia Chang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Xiaoxue In Small Standard Script Calligraphy beobachtet, die im November 2005 für HKD 15.240.000,00 (€ 1.667.480,92) versteigert wurde.
