Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Azalea by Zhou Bichu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in July 2003. The price achieved of HKD 113,525.00 (€ 11,822.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 100,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhou Bichu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jiaxing Misty Rain Pavilion in April this year with an auction result of HKD 744,000.00 (€ 759,769.57).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Azalea von Zhou Bichu kam im Juli 2003 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 113.525,00 (€ 11.822,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 100.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhou Bichu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jiaxing Misty Rain Pavilion im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 744.000,00 (€ 759.769,57).
