Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape After Dong Yuan by Zhang Qia was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 68,750.00 (€ 61,592.90). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Qia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 2,070,000.00 (€ 196,432.25).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape After Dong Yuan von Zhang Qia im September 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 68.750,00 (€ 61.592,90) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Zhang Qia mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape beobachtet, die im Oktober 2013 für HKD 2.070.000,00 (€ 196.432,25) versteigert wurde.
