Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Zhao Mengfu could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in December last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Mongol Rider changed hands for HKD 15,120.00 (€ 1,811.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhao Mengfu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape And Calligraphy in April this year with an auction result of HKD 42,930,000.00 (€ 43,839,929.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhao Mengfu konnte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online wechselte die Arbeit Mongol Rider für HKD 15.120,00 (€ 1.811,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhao Mengfu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape And Calligraphy im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 42.930.000,00 (€ 43.839.929,35).
