A top price for Li Zhaoheng
When the work Landscapes and Pine by Li Zhaoheng was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 13 times as high at HKD 6,725,000.00 (€ 779,975.50). This high result makes Landscapes and Pine the most expensive artwork by Li Zhaoheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Li Zhaoheng
Als die Arbeit Landscapes and Pine von Li Zhaoheng im November 2019 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 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 6.725.000,00 (€ 779.975,50) mehr als 13-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscapes and Pine zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Li Zhaoheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
