Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by David Wu Ject-Key could be acquired at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern Asian Art auction, the work Gloucester City Hall changed hands for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 16,063.67) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Admittedly, works by David Wu Ject-Key have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ladies Under The Pine in April 2016 with an auction result of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 84,498.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von David Wu Ject-Key konnte im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern Asian Art wechselte die Arbeit Gloucester City Hall für HKD 137.500,00 (€ 16.063,67) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von David Wu Ject-Key auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ladies Under The Pine im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 84.498,73).
