Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Waterfall by the Pine Creek by Zha Shibiao was auctioned at Bonhams in Sydney in August this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - AUD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at AUD 76,260.00 (€ 45,506.94). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zha Shibiao achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Visiting Friends In The Hill in April this year with an auction result of HKD 1,296,000.00 (€ 1,323,469.57).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Waterfall by the Pine Creek von Zha Shibiao im August diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Sydney versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – AUD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit AUD 76.260,00 (€ 45.506,94) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zha Shibiao erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Visiting Friends In The Hill im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.296.000,00 (€ 1.323.469,57).
