A top price for Zhang Bu - as previously expected
The work Blossoming Flowers by Zhang Bu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2003. The price achieved of HKD 113,525.00 (€ 12,585.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 100,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Blossoming Flowers is the most expensive artwork by Zhang Bu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Blossoming Flowers von Zhang Bu kam im Oktober 2003 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 113.525,00 (€ 12.585,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 100.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Blossoming Flowers das teuerste Kunstwerk von Zhang Bu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
