A top price for Zha Sheng
When the work Poems In Running Script by Zha Sheng was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 125,000.00 (€ 90,730.93). This high result makes Poems In Running Script the most expensive artwork by Zha Sheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zha Sheng
Als die Arbeit Poems In Running Script von Zha Sheng im März 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 125.000,00 (€ 90.730,93) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Poems In Running Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zha Sheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
