Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2011 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction The Ullens Collection - The Nascence of Avant Garde China, which included the work Old Man And The Sea by Zhong Biao. The price achieved of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 16,294.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Admittedly, works by Zhong Biao have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Marksman in March 2008 with an auction result of USD 121,000.00 (€ 76,558.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2011 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion The Ullens Collection - The Nascence of Avant Garde China durch, in der auch die Arbeit Old Man And The Sea von Zhong Biao zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 187.500,00 (€ 16.294,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Zhong Biao auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Marksman im März 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 121.000,00 (€ 76.558,05).
