This artwork by Zhang Jian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December last year. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Seven-Character Poem by Mei Shengyu in Running Script sold for HKD 35,280.00 (€ 4,227.80) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhang Jian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reflection of Moon in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 1,437,500.00 (€ 147,994.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhang Jian erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online wurde die Arbeit Seven-Character Poem by Mei Shengyu in Running Script für HKD 35.280,00 (€ 4.227,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhang Jian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reflection of Moon im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.437.500,00 (€ 147.994,81).
