This artwork by Chen Shizeng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Hong Kong in October 2021. In the Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale auction, the work Orchids and Rocks sold for HKD 8,925.00 (€ 992.78) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Shizeng achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers in September 2015 with an auction result of USD 137,500.00 (€ 123,185.81).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Chen Shizeng erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale wurde die Arbeit Orchids and Rocks für HKD 8.925,00 (€ 992,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Shizeng erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers im September 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 137.500,00 (€ 123.185,81).
