A top price for Huo Genzhong
When the work Town by the Lakeshore by Huo Genzhong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 13 times as high at HKD 237,500.00 (€ 25,947.94). This high result makes Town by the Lakeshore the most expensive artwork by Huo Genzhong that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Huo Genzhong
Als die Arbeit Town by the Lakeshore von Huo Genzhong im Mai 2018 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 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 237.500,00 (€ 25.947,94) mehr als 13-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Town by the Lakeshore zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Huo Genzhong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
