Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2020 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. It changed hands for a price of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 82,172.58) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Admittedly, works by Zhang Bi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Thousand Character Classic In Cursive Script in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 874,000.00 (€ 813,704.50).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2020 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. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 82.172,58) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Zhang Bi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Thousand Character Classic In Cursive Script im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 874.000,00 (€ 813.704,50).
