In December this year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Shoulao by Yu Ji. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 81,900.00 (€ 9,476.77), 64% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yu Ji achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Planting Bamboo in December 2020 with an auction result of HKD 8,650,000.00 (€ 912,387.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shoulao von Yu Ji zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 81.900,00 (€ 9.476,77) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yu Ji erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Planting Bamboo im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 8.650.000,00 (€ 912.387,57).
