CERAMICHE E OGGETTI D’ARTE CINESI

SOTHEBY’S. Londra, 11 maggio 2011

La vendita “Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art” tenutasi da Sotheby’s a Londra ha incassato 20,798,725 GBP (34,057,912 USD) partendo da una stima preasta di 11,5-16,2 milioni. La cifra costituisce il totale più alto mai registrato a Londra per questa categoria. Il prezzo più alto è stato battuto per un vaso Qianlong in porcellana biancoblu con decoro a dragoni, offerto all’asta da un collezionista scozzese. Partito da una stima 50/70mila sterline è stato aggiudicato al telefono a un buyer asiatico per  £ 1,138,850  ($1,864,867), oltre sedici volte la stima massima.

Commentando il forte risultato della vendita, Robert Bradlow, Director and Head of Sotheby’s Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art Department in London, ha detto: “Overall, we are delighted with the results of today’s sale which achieved the well-above estimate total of £20.7 million – true testament to the strength of the Chinese Art market. In particular, we are thrilled with the prices achieved for the property sourced from UK collections which sold exceptionally well in the international selling centre of London. Fresh and highly sought after Qing Dynasty imperial ceramics, jades, and paintings were brought to the market from UK collections – as far north as Scotland and as far South as the ‘home counties’ such as Surrey and East Sussex – selling to Asian and international buyers, demonstrating the global nature of this field and appetite for works of art in this collecting category.”
