This artwork by Tan Zekai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018. In the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction, the work Calligraphy sold for HKD 75,000.00 (€ 8,194.09) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tan Zekai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Kaishu, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 175,000.00 (€ 20,224.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tan Zekai erzielte im Mai 2018 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings wurde die Arbeit Calligraphy für HKD 75.000,00 (€ 8.194,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Tan Zekai mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy In Kaishu beobachtet, die im April 2015 für HKD 175.000,00 (€ 20.224,87) versteigert wurde.
