A top price for Huang Chih Chao
When the work Lady with Horse by Huang Chih Chao was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 300,000.00 (€ 26,836.39). This high result makes Lady with Horse the most expensive artwork by Huang Chih Chao that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Huang Chih Chao
Als die Arbeit Lady with Horse von Huang Chih Chao im Mai 2011 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 300.000,00 (€ 26.836,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Lady with Horse zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Huang Chih Chao, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
