Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape by Cheng Tinglu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 350,000.00 (€ 40,593.52). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cheng Tinglu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cottage In The Mountain, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 90,000.00 (€ 91,907.61).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape von Cheng Tinglu im November 2019 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 350.000,00 (€ 40.593,52) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Cheng Tinglu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cottage In The Mountain beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für HKD 90.000,00 (€ 91.907,61) versteigert wurde.
