A top price for Xu Jian
When the work Landscape after Cao Zhibiao by Xu Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 24 times as high at HKD 3,620,000.00 (€ 346,312.35). This high result makes Landscape after Cao Zhibiao the most expensive artwork by Xu Jian that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Xu Jian
Als die Arbeit Landscape after Cao Zhibiao von Xu Jian im November 2011 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 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.620.000,00 (€ 346.312,35) mehr als 24-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscape after Cao Zhibiao zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Xu Jian, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
