Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In March 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy, which included the work Wang Wei'S Poem In Clerical Script by Zheng Fu. The »bidding war« ended at USD 68,750.00 (€ 64,264.35), 72% 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 72 % übertroffen
Im März 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wang Wei'S Poem In Clerical Script von Zheng Fu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 64.264,35) und damit 72% 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.
