A top price for Lü Shengzhong
When the work Magic And Acrobatics (Four Works) by Lü Shengzhong was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 1,220,000.00 (€ 112,666.52). This high result makes Magic And Acrobatics (Four Works) the most expensive artwork by Lü Shengzhong that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Lü Shengzhong
Als die Arbeit Magic And Acrobatics (Four Works) von Lü Shengzhong im Oktober 2011 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 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.220.000,00 (€ 112.666,52) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Magic And Acrobatics (Four Works) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Lü Shengzhong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
