      For the sectional curvature of the Grassmann manifold, it has been proved that it can be of maximal or minimal value given certain conditions [see \textit{A. A. Borisenko} and \textit{Yu. A. Nikolaevskii}, Mat. Zametki 48, No. 3, 12--19 (1990; Zbl 0708.53005); \textit{Y. C. Wong}, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 60, 75--79 (1968; Zbl 0169.23904)]. In this paper the author proves that if the holomorphic curvature of a complex Grassmann manifold in two-dimensional directions tangent to a nondegenerate Grassmann image of a nonsingular complex surface attains its maximal possible value along all directions, then the surface is a complex hypersurface.
