A top price for Xu Fang
When the work Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping by Xu Fang was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 55,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 514,000.00 (€ 457,376.76). This high result makes Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping the most expensive artwork by Xu Fang that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Xu Fang
Als die Arbeit Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping von Xu Fang im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 55.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 514.000,00 (€ 457.376,76) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Springs And Rocks At Mount Tianping zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Xu Fang, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
