Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Un village sans frontières (A Village without Borders) by Chen Zhen was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Christies in London in March 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 128,087.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Zhen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Opening Of A Closed Center, which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 576,000.00 (€ 428,157.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Un village sans frontières (A Village without Borders) von Chen Zhen wurde im März 2018 in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 128.087,46) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Chen Zhen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Opening Of A Closed Center beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für USD 576.000,00 (€ 428.157,29) versteigert wurde.
