Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Six Scenery by Zheng Min was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 2,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at HKD 9,460,000.00 (€ 1,018,512.36). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zheng Min; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Eight Views Of Huangshan sold at auction in March 2012 with the realized price of USD 2,322,500.00 (€ 1,741,787.91).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Six Scenery von Zheng Min im November 2017 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 2.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 9.460.000,00 (€ 1.018.512,36) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Zheng Min; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Eight Views Of Huangshan im März 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 2.322.500,00 (€ 1.741.787,91).
