Liang Quan b.1948

As one of the pioneers for Chinese contemporary abstract arts，Liang Quan’s creations have always been avant-garde，from the earliest installation art in China，mixed medium creation to the earliest abstract art.

Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tea Ceremony by Liang Quan was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in October 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 100,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 118,000.00 (€ 13,785.55) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Liang Quan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in April 2015 with an auction result of CNY 587,500.00 (€ 84,845.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Tea Ceremony von Liang Quan kam im Oktober 2015 bei China Guardian in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 100.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 118.000,00 (€ 13.785,55) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Liang Quan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CNY 587.500,00 (€ 84.845,91).
