Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Complementation Series No.170 by Zhou Changjiang was auctioned at Christies in Shanghai in October 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - CNY 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at CNY 687,500.00 (€ 89,764.57). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zhou Changjiang; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Complementation 99.2 sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of CNY 750,000.00 (€ 108,313.92).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Complementation Series No.170 von Zhou Changjiang im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in Shanghai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – CNY 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit CNY 687.500,00 (€ 89.764,57) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Zhou Changjiang; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Complementation 99.2 im April 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von CNY 750.000,00 (€ 108.313,92).
