Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Landscapes After Ancient Masters by Xiao Yuncong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 293,750.00 (€ 41,875.63). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xiao Yuncong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Endless Mountains in July last year with an auction result of HKD 8,640,000.00 (€ 1,078,094.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Landscapes After Ancient Masters von Xiao Yuncong im Oktober 2001 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 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 293.750,00 (€ 41.875,63) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xiao Yuncong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Endless Mountains im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 8.640.000,00 (€ 1.078.094,49).
