Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In October 2017 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings, which included the work Calligraphy In Clerical Script by Zheng Fu. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 500,000.00 (€ 55,030.91), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zheng Fu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poems in Seal Script, which sold at auction in December this year for HKD 1,890,000.00 (€ 218,694.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy In Clerical Script von Zheng Fu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 500.000,00 (€ 55.030,91) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Zheng Fu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Poems in Seal Script beobachtet, die im Dezember diesen Jahres für HKD 1.890.000,00 (€ 218.694,63) versteigert wurde.
