A top price for Jin Cheng
When the work Spring Scenery Of Jiangnan by Jin Cheng was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 2,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 7,840,000.00 (€ 743,975.28). This high result makes Spring Scenery Of Jiangnan the most expensive artwork by Jin Cheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jin Cheng
Als die Arbeit Spring Scenery Of Jiangnan von Jin Cheng im Oktober 2013 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 2.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 7.840.000,00 (€ 743.975,28) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Spring Scenery Of Jiangnan zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jin Cheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
