Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Palm and Bamboo by Xu Wei. The price achieved of HKD 180,000.00 (€ 17,455.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xu Wei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Various Objects in October 2021 with an auction result of HKD 3,276,000.00 (€ 364,409.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Palm and Bamboo von Xu Wei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 180.000,00 (€ 17.455,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Xu Wei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Various Objects im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.276.000,00 (€ 364.409,63).
