Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Smoking Man by Zeng Fanzhi was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 3,800,000.00 – 4,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 3,880,000.00 (€ 448,456.22) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zeng Fanzhi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Last Supper in October 2013 with an auction result of HKD 180,440,000.00 (€ 17,122,818.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Smoking Man von Zeng Fanzhi wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 3.800.000,00 – 4.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 3.880.000,00 (€ 448.456,22) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zeng Fanzhi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Last Supper im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 180.440.000,00 (€ 17.122.818,89).
