Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2020 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Riverscape after Rain by Xia Chang. It changed hands for a price of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 82,172.58) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xia Chang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Riverscape after Rain von Xia Chang zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 82.172,58) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xia Chang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Xiaoxue In Small Standard Script Calligraphy im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 15.240.000,00 (€ 1.667.480,92).
