Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Peking Opera Series-The Three Realms: Three Attacks on White Bone Demon; & Peking Opera Series: The Three Realms-Muke Village; Peking Opera Series: The Three Realms-Empty Fort Strategy by Liu Zheng was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 50,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 52,500.00 (€ 5,469.10) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Zheng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Opera Series, which sold at auction in September 2008 for USD 20,000.00 (€ 14,203.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Peking Opera Series-The Three Realms: Three Attacks on White Bone Demon; & Peking Opera Series: The Three Realms-Muke Village; Peking Opera Series: The Three Realms-Empty Fort Strategy von Liu Zheng wurde im Mai 2012 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 52.500,00 (€ 5.469,10) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Liu Zheng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Opera Series beobachtet, die im September 2008 für USD 20.000,00 (€ 14.203,54) versteigert wurde.
