Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2012 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Horse in the Willow Shade by Zhang Mu. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 93,750.00 (€ 9,766.26), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Mu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Eagle, which sold at auction in November 2019 for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 21,746.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2012 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Horse in the Willow Shade von Zhang Mu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 93.750,00 (€ 9.766,26) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Mu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Eagle beobachtet, die im November 2019 für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 21.746,53) versteigert wurde.
