A top price for Yi Junzuo - as previously expected
The work Calligraphy Collection by Yi Junzuo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in February this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 15,120.00 (€ 1,816.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Calligraphy Collection is the most expensive artwork by Yi Junzuo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Calligraphy Collection von Yi Junzuo kam im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 15.120,00 (€ 1.816,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Calligraphy Collection das teuerste Kunstwerk von Yi Junzuo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
