Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings, which included the work Du Fu’S Poem In Cursive Script by Zhang Bi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 1,800,000.00 – 2,200,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 1,875,000.00 (€ 206,365.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Bi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Thousand Character Classic In Cursive Script, which sold at auction in March 2015 for USD 874,000.00 (€ 813,704.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Du Fu’S Poem In Cursive Script von Zhang Bi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 1.800.000,00 – 2.200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 1.875.000,00 (€ 206.365,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Bi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Thousand Character Classic In Cursive Script beobachtet, die im März 2015 für USD 874.000,00 (€ 813.704,50) versteigert wurde.
