Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Zhang Chong could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Reading by Snowlight changed hands for HKD 36,000.00 (€ 3,427.93) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhang Chong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ink Peony in November 2015 with an auction result of HKD 475,000.00 (€ 58,014.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhang Chong konnte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy wechselte die Arbeit Reading by Snowlight für HKD 36.000,00 (€ 3.427,93) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhang Chong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ink Peony im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 475.000,00 (€ 58.014,58).
