Artwork auctioned at 11 times the upper estimate price
When the work Resort At The West Lake by Chen Zengshou was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 16,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 187,500.00 (€ 175,266.40). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Chen Zengshou; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Landscape sold at auction in October 2016 with the realized price of HKD 2,120,000.00 (€ 249,480.02).
Kunstwerk zum Elffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Resort At The West Lake von Chen Zengshou im März 2017 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 16.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 187.500,00 (€ 175.266,40) mehr als elfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Chen Zengshou; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Landscape im Oktober 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 2.120.000,00 (€ 249.480,02).
