This artwork by Rong Zuchun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Weaver Girl sold for HKD 40,320.00 (€ 4,786.85) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rong Zuchun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sketches, which sold at auction in April 2018 for HKD 153,400.00 (€ 16,186.15).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Rong Zuchun erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online wurde die Arbeit Weaver Girl für HKD 40.320,00 (€ 4.786,85) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Rong Zuchun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sketches beobachtet, die im April 2018 für HKD 153.400,00 (€ 16.186,15) versteigert wurde.
