NOTE
The painting is inscribed by Tai Xiangzhou (B. 1968).
Born in Shaanxi, Zhang Yirong followed the footsteps of her father to become an artist. Zhang’s monochromatic flowers and butterflies exude a sense of elegance that aptly echo the artist’s personality. Her straightforward compositions are enriched by the meticulous details of her subject matter. Zhang pursues purity in her artistic representation - through painting these minute details, Zhang delves deep into her practice and discovers her universe from within. She currently lives in Beijing

A top price for Zhang Yirong - as previously expected

The work Peony by Zhang Yirong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. The price achieved of HKD 100,000.00 (€ 11,558.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Peony is the most expensive artwork by Zhang Yirong that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Peony von Zhang Yirong kam im Mai 2016 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 100.000,00 (€ 11.558,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Peony das teuerste Kunstwerk von Zhang Yirong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
