Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zhou Chen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Fishing in a Quiet Lake sold for HKD 860,000.00 (€ 85,272.87) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 400,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhou Chen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work River Scenery in May 2013 with an auction result of HKD 51,390,000.00 (€ 5,096,267.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhou Chen erzielte im November 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Fishing in a Quiet Lake für HKD 860.000,00 (€ 85.272,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 400.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhou Chen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit River Scenery im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 51.390.000,00 (€ 5.096.267,32).
