A top price for Chen Shizeng
When the work Flowers by Chen Shizeng was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 28,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 137,500.00 (€ 123,185.81). This high result makes Flowers the most expensive artwork by Chen Shizeng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Chen Shizeng
Als die Arbeit Flowers von Chen Shizeng im September 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 28.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 137.500,00 (€ 123.185,81) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Flowers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Chen Shizeng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
