Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Running Script Calligraphy by Zha Sheng was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018, 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 four times as high at HKD 687,500.00 (€ 75,112.47). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zha Sheng; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Poems In Running Script sold at auction in March 2014 with the realized price of USD 125,000.00 (€ 90,730.93).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Running Script Calligraphy von Zha Sheng im Mai 2018 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 687.500,00 (€ 75.112,47) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Zha Sheng; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Poems In Running Script im März 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 90.730,93).
