A top price for Zou Zhe
When the work Recluse Under Lofty Mountain by Zou Zhe was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 394,000.00 (€ 352,983.34). This high result makes Recluse Under Lofty Mountain the most expensive artwork by Zou Zhe that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zou Zhe
Als die Arbeit Recluse Under Lofty Mountain von Zou Zhe im September 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 394.000,00 (€ 352.983,34) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Recluse Under Lofty Mountain zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zou Zhe, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
