Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Mount E'mei by Zhang Daqian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 2,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 2,250,000.00 (€ 242,246.60). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhang Daqian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape after Wang Ximeng in April last year with an auction result of HKD 370,495,000.00 (€ 44,795,542.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Mount E'mei von Zhang Daqian kam im November 2017 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 2.200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 2.250.000,00 (€ 242.246,60) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhang Daqian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape after Wang Ximeng im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 370.495.000,00 (€ 44.795.542,37).
