A top price for Zhou Chen
When the work River Scenery by Zhou Chen was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 10,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 51,390,000.00 (€ 5,096,267.32). This high result makes River Scenery the most expensive artwork by Zhou Chen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zhou Chen
Als die Arbeit River Scenery von Zhou Chen im Mai 2013 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 10.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 51.390.000,00 (€ 5.096.267,32) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht River Scenery zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zhou Chen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
