Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Scenery of lotus pond in Beijing by Guo Bochuan was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2004. It achieved a price of HKD 286,800.00 (€ 28,891.51), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guo Bochuan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Forbidden City in April 2008 with an auction result of HKD 27,207,500.00 (€ 2,242,241.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Scenery of lotus pond in Beijing von Guo Bochuan kam im Oktober 2004 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 286.800,00 (€ 28.891,51) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guo Bochuan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Forbidden City im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 27.207.500,00 (€ 2.242.241,94).
