Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Two Seven-character Poems in Running-cursive Script by Zhu Shilu 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 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 250,000.00 (€ 24,792.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhu Shilu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Running Script, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 72,000.00 (€ 73,526.09).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Two Seven-character Poems in Running-cursive Script von Zhu Shilu 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 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 250.000,00 (€ 24.792,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhu Shilu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für HKD 72.000,00 (€ 73.526,09) versteigert wurde.
