A top price for Zhang Shuqi
When the work Doves and Flowers by Zhang Shuqi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in June 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 300,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 16 times as high at HKD 5,080,000.00 (€ 587,520.17). This high result makes Doves and Flowers the most expensive artwork by Zhang Shuqi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zhang Shuqi
Als die Arbeit Doves and Flowers von Zhang Shuqi im Juni 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 300.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 5.080.000,00 (€ 587.520,17) mehr als 16-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Doves and Flowers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zhang Shuqi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
