Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Illustrations From The Analects And Mencius by Zhang Hong was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017. The price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 26,453.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 45,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Hong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Studio by a Secluded Stream, which sold at auction in April last year for HKD 604,800.00 (€ 73,124.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Illustrations From The Analects And Mencius von Zhang Hong kam im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 26.453,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Hong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Studio by a Secluded Stream beobachtet, die im April letzten Jahres für HKD 604.800,00 (€ 73.124,72) versteigert wurde.
