Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Qi Zhilong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Chinese Girl sold for HKD 93,750.00 (€ 11,450.25) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Qi Zhilong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chinese Girl Series No.1 in April 2008 with an auction result of HKD 3,847,500.00 (€ 317,082.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Qi Zhilong erzielte im November 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) wurde die Arbeit Chinese Girl für HKD 93.750,00 (€ 11.450,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Qi Zhilong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chinese Girl Series No.1 im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.847.500,00 (€ 317.082,64).
