Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphy in Seal Script by Luo Zhenyu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 45,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 212,500.00 (€ 23,216.58). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luo Zhenyu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in April 2019 for HKD 525,000.00 (€ 59,760.29).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy in Seal Script von Luo Zhenyu im Mai 2018 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 45.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 212.500,00 (€ 23.216,58) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Luo Zhenyu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy beobachtet, die im April 2019 für HKD 525.000,00 (€ 59.760,29) versteigert wurde.
