Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work Study of Flowers by Zhao Haogong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at HKD 500,000.00 (€ 47,833.20). Admittedly, works by Zhao Haogong have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Rock in November 2011 with an auction result of HKD 2,420,000.00 (€ 231,512.67).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study of Flowers von Zhao Haogong im November 2011 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 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 500.000,00 (€ 47.833,20) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Zhao Haogong auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Rock im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.420.000,00 (€ 231.512,67).
