A top price for Zhu Duan
When the work Whiling The Summer Away by Zhu Duan was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 27 times as high at HKD 3,256,000.00 (€ 339,073.29). This high result makes Whiling The Summer Away the most expensive artwork by Zhu Duan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zhu Duan
Als die Arbeit Whiling The Summer Away von Zhu Duan im Mai 2005 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 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.256.000,00 (€ 339.073,29) mehr als 27-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Whiling The Summer Away zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zhu Duan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
