Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Obsession of Traditional Chinese Characters 7 by Zheng Guogu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 35,000.00 (€ 3,646.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zheng Guogu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Waterfall in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 560,000.00 (€ 58,337.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Obsession of Traditional Chinese Characters 7 von Zheng Guogu im Mai 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 35.000,00 (€ 3.646,07) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zheng Guogu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Waterfall im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 560.000,00 (€ 58.337,11).
