Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work Casual by Li Chen was auctioned at Christies in Shanghai in September this year. It achieved a price of HKD 1,197,000.00 (€ 144,422.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Li Chen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dragon-Riding Buddha (Executed In 2001) in April 2021 with an auction result of HKD 17,975,000.00 (€ 1,924,505.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Casual von Li Chen kam im September diesen Jahres bei Christies in Shanghai zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 1.197.000,00 (€ 144.422,62) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 41%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Li Chen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dragon-Riding Buddha (Executed In 2001) im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 17.975.000,00 (€ 1.924.505,40).
