Upper estimate price exceeded by 94 %.
This artwork by Chen Chun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Flowers of the Four Seasons sold for HKD 1,940,000.00 (€ 192,359.72) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Chun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers and Calligraphy in June this year with an auction result of HKD 28,810,000.00 (€ 3,366,443.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 94 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Chen Chun erzielte im November 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Flowers of the Four Seasons für HKD 1.940.000,00 (€ 192.359,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 1.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Chun erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers and Calligraphy im Juni diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 28.810.000,00 (€ 3.366.443,22).
