A top price for Jiang Lian
When the work Beauties In Tang Poetry by Jiang Lian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 275,000.00 (€ 26,073.06). This high result makes Beauties In Tang Poetry the most expensive artwork by Jiang Lian that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jiang Lian
Als die Arbeit Beauties In Tang Poetry von Jiang Lian im November 2013 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 275.000,00 (€ 26.073,06) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Beauties In Tang Poetry zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jiang Lian, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
