Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Lady with Scarf by Zhou Chunya was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 250,000.00 (€ 24,792.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhou Chunya achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Stone Series - The Tree Connected To Stone in May 2019 with an auction result of HKD 32,525,000.00 (€ 3,722,477.35).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Lady with Scarf von Zhou Chunya im Mai 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 250.000,00 (€ 24.792,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhou Chunya erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Stone Series - The Tree Connected To Stone im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 32.525.000,00 (€ 3.722.477,35).
