Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Dream of the Crane Studio by Zhang Zongcang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 5,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 28,540,000.00 (€ 3,477,789.75). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zhang Zongcang; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Parasolhall In Autumn sold at auction in April 2017 with the realized price of HKD 49,560,000.00 (€ 5,849,854.06).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Dream of the Crane Studio von Zhang Zongcang im November 2016 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 5.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 28.540.000,00 (€ 3.477.789,75) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Zhang Zongcang; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Parasolhall In Autumn im April 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von HKD 49.560.000,00 (€ 5.849.854,06).
