Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Paper Bride (Searching) by Zeng Chuanxing was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 2,000,000.00 – 2,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 1,940,000.00 (€ 197,334.81). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zeng Chuanxing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paper Bride - Prayer, which sold at auction in May 2007 for HKD 5,024,000.00 (€ 478,387.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Paper Bride (Searching) von Zeng Chuanxing im Oktober 2008 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 2.000.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 1.940.000,00 (€ 197.334,81) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Zeng Chuanxing mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paper Bride - Prayer beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für HKD 5.024.000,00 (€ 478.387,27) versteigert wurde.
