Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A Myriad Trees And Strange Peaks by Xu Jian was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Cal auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2013. Here, the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,158.85). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Jian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape after Cao Zhibiao in November 2011 with an auction result of HKD 3,620,000.00 (€ 346,312.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A Myriad Trees And Strange Peaks von Xu Jian wurde im September 2013 in der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Cal bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.158,85) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Jian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape after Cao Zhibiao im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.620.000,00 (€ 346.312,35).
