Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work Musicians by Min Zhen was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 20,000.00 (€ 17,917.94). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Min Zhen; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bamboo And Orchid sold at auction in September 2012 with the realized price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 23,335.41).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Musicians von Min Zhen im September 2015 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 20.000,00 (€ 17.917,94) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Min Zhen; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Bamboo And Orchid im September 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 23.335,41).
