Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2017 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Orchid and Rock by Xu Fang. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 106,250.00 (€ 11,439.42). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Fang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping in September 2016 with an auction result of USD 514,000.00 (€ 457,376.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Orchid and Rock von Xu Fang zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 100.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 106.250,00 (€ 11.439,42) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Fang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping im September 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 514.000,00 (€ 457.376,76).
