A top price for Sheng Yinchang
When the work Seeking Inspiration by Sheng Yinchang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 687,500.00 (€ 78,503.25). This high result makes Seeking Inspiration the most expensive artwork by Sheng Yinchang that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Sheng Yinchang
Als die Arbeit Seeking Inspiration von Sheng Yinchang im Mai 2017 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 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 687.500,00 (€ 78.503,25) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Seeking Inspiration zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Sheng Yinchang, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
