Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zhang Boying achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2015. In the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction, the work Calligraphic Couplet sold for HKD 125,000 (€ 14,849) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Boying - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work , which sold at auction in April 2011 for HKD 560,000 (€ 48,666).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhang Boying erzielte im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings wurde die Arbeit Calligraphic Couplet für HKD 125.000 (€ 14.849) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 50.000. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Boying mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit beobachtet, die im April 2011 für HKD 560.000 (€ 48.666) versteigert wurde.
