Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2013 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Shitao (Album)-Van Gogh #5 by Zhang Hongtu. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 175,000.00 (€ 17,130.54), 17% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Zhang Hongtu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Shen Zhou - Van Gogh #2 in May 2007 with an auction result of HKD 1,440,000.00 (€ 137,117.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2013 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shitao (Album)-Van Gogh #5 von Zhang Hongtu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 175.000,00 (€ 17.130,54) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Zhang Hongtu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Shen Zhou - Van Gogh #2 im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.440.000,00 (€ 137.117,37).
