A top price for Chen Ting-Shih
When the work Four Seasons by Chen Ting-Shih was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 1,500,000.00 (€ 164,345.17). This high result makes Four Seasons the most expensive artwork by Chen Ting-Shih that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Chen Ting-Shih
Als die Arbeit Four Seasons von Chen Ting-Shih im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.500.000,00 (€ 164.345,17) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Four Seasons zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Chen Ting-Shih, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
