A top price for Lu Zhi - as previously expected
The work The South Marsh by Lu Zhi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2021. The price achieved of HKD 5,625,000.00 (€ 625,442.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 5,000,000.00 – 7,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The South Marsh is the most expensive artwork by Lu Zhi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The South Marsh von Lu Zhi kam im November 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 5.625.000,00 (€ 625.442,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 5.000.000,00 – 7.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The South Marsh das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lu Zhi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
