Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Narcissus and Calligraphy by Chen Chun was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 8,000,000.00 – 12,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 8,820,000.00 (€ 1,020,574.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Chun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers and Calligraphy, which sold at auction in June this year for HKD 28,810,000.00 (€ 3,366,443.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Narcissus and Calligraphy von Chen Chun kam im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 8.000.000,00 – 12.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 8.820.000,00 (€ 1.020.574,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Chen Chun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flowers and Calligraphy beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für HKD 28.810.000,00 (€ 3.366.443,22) versteigert wurde.
