Entitled, inscribed and signed, with three seals of the artist Dated second month, renchen year (1952) NOTE: Sun Yunsheng, also known as Jia Rui, is native to Ninghe, Hebei Province. In his early years, he studied painting under Wang Xuetao, Qin Zhongwen, and Hu Peiheng. In 1936, he became a student of Zhang Daqian, and was mentored by him for 47 years. He resided with Zhang during his time in Brazil. When Zhang passed, Sun took care of Zhang’s life works of sketches.
Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Groom and Foreign Horse by Sun Yunsheng was auctioned at Christies in New York in August this year. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 32,760.00 (€ 3,853.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sun Yunsheng achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lotus in March 2019 with an auction result of HKD 354,000.00 (€ 40,167.08).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Groom and Foreign Horse von Sun Yunsheng kam im August diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 32.760,00 (€ 3.853,58) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sun Yunsheng erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lotus im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 354.000,00 (€ 40.167,08).
