Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Chen Zhen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2015. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Drawing for Prayer Wheel; Sketches for Prayer Wheel; Drawing for Prayer Wheel; & Sketches for Prayer Wheel sold for HKD 300,000.00 (€ 35,201.02) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Zhen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Opening Of A Closed Center in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 576,000.00 (€ 428,157.29).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Chen Zhen erzielte im Mai 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) wurde die Arbeit Drawing for Prayer Wheel; Sketches for Prayer Wheel; Drawing for Prayer Wheel; & Sketches for Prayer Wheel für HKD 300.000,00 (€ 35.201,02) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Zhen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Opening Of A Closed Center im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 576.000,00 (€ 428.157,29).
