A top price for Yu Zicai
When the work Sunrise At Alishan by Yu Zicai was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 350,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at HKD 3,220,000.00 (€ 380,075.26). This high result makes Sunrise At Alishan the most expensive artwork by Yu Zicai that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Yu Zicai
Als die Arbeit Sunrise At Alishan von Yu Zicai im April 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 350.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.220.000,00 (€ 380.075,26) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Sunrise At Alishan zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Yu Zicai, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
