Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
When the work Ode To The Red Cliff by Cheng Jiasui was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 137,000 (€ 108,489). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cheng Jiasui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work , which sold at auction in April 2011 for HKD 3,380,000 (€ 293,735).
Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Ode To The Red Cliff von Cheng Jiasui im September 2014 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 137.000 (€ 108.489) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Cheng Jiasui mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit beobachtet, die im April 2011 für HKD 3.380.000 (€ 293.735) versteigert wurde.
