Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Pomegranate by Zhu Lesan was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,710.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhu Lesan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers And Rock, which sold at auction in October 2020 for HKD 126,000.00 (€ 13,955.53).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Pomegranate von Zhu Lesan im November 2017 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 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 43.750,00 (€ 4.710,35) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhu Lesan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flowers And Rock beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für HKD 126.000,00 (€ 13.955,53) versteigert wurde.
