Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work The Dream of Peach Blossoms by Xiang Shengmo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 3,980,000.00 (€ 380,752.25). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Xiang Shengmo; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Dreamin Of The Peach Pavillion sold at auction in April 2014 with the realized price of HKD 5,750,000.00 (€ 534,787.31).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Dream of Peach Blossoms von Xiang Shengmo im November 2011 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.980.000,00 (€ 380.752,25) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Xiang Shengmo; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Dreamin Of The Peach Pavillion im April 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 5.750.000,00 (€ 534.787,31).
