This artwork by Zeng Jianyong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Shanghai in October 2014. In the Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art auction, the work Friend Series sold for CNY 400,000.00 (€ 52,226.66) - well above the upper estimate of CNY 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zeng Jianyong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work After Typhoon (Triptych), which sold at auction in April 2014 for HKD 1,360,000.00 (€ 126,488.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zeng Jianyong erzielte im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in Shanghai einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian and Western 20th Century & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Friend Series für CNY 400.000,00 (€ 52.226,66) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von CNY 200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Zeng Jianyong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit After Typhoon (Triptych) beobachtet, die im April 2014 für HKD 1.360.000,00 (€ 126.488,82) versteigert wurde.
