Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Calligraphy In Running Script by Zhu Yunming was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 874,000.00 (€ 813,704.50). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhu Yunming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cursive Script Calligraphy, which sold at auction in December this year for HKD 24,575,000.00 (€ 2,843,608.75).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy In Running Script von Zhu Yunming im März 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 874.000,00 (€ 813.704,50) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhu Yunming mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cursive Script Calligraphy beobachtet, die im Dezember diesen Jahres für HKD 24.575.000,00 (€ 2.843.608,75) versteigert wurde.
