Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
The work Fire Master by Li Chen was sold in the 21st Century Art Day Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. It achieved a price of HKD 1,386,000.00 (€ 164,547.95), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. 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 54 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Fire Master von Li Chen wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion 21st Century Art Day Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 1.386.000,00 (€ 164.547,95) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 54%. 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).
