A top price for Zhang Xin
This artwork by Zhang Xin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Hibiscus and Flowering Cassia sold for HKD 107,100.00 (€ 12,715.07) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 60,000.00. This high result makes Hibiscus and Flowering Cassia the most expensive artwork by Zhang Xin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zhang Xin
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhang Xin erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Hibiscus and Flowering Cassia für HKD 107.100,00 (€ 12.715,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 60.000,00. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Hibiscus and Flowering Cassia zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zhang Xin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
