Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zheng Min achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2014. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Endless Streams And Mountains sold for USD 197,000.00 (€ 142,991.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 75,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zheng Min achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Eight Views Of Huangshan in March 2012 with an auction result of USD 2,322,500.00 (€ 1,741,787.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zheng Min erzielte im März 2014 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Endless Streams And Mountains für USD 197.000,00 (€ 142.991,94) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 75.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zheng Min erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Eight Views Of Huangshan im März 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.322.500,00 (€ 1.741.787,91).
