Artwork auctioned at 13 times the upper estimate price
When the work Orange (Young Intellectuals) by Qi Zhilong was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 13 times as high at USD 68,750.00 (€ 58,545.52). Admittedly, works by Qi Zhilong have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Chinese Girl Series No.1 in April 2008 with an auction result of HKD 3,847,500.00 (€ 317,082.64).
Kunstwerk zum 13-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Orange (Young Intellectuals) von Qi Zhilong im März 2021 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 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 68.750,00 (€ 58.545,52) mehr als 13-mal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Qi Zhilong auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Chinese Girl Series No.1 im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.847.500,00 (€ 317.082,64).
