Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Modern Chinese Paintings, which included the work Tiger by Hu Zaobin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 8,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 8,400.00 (€ 799.85) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hu Zaobin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tigers In The Bush in October 2012 with an auction result of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 11,199.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Modern Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tiger von Hu Zaobin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 8.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 8.400,00 (€ 799,85) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hu Zaobin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tigers In The Bush im Oktober 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 112.500,00 (€ 11.199,65).
