Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings, which included the work Ouyang Xun'S Inscription In The Jiucheng Palace by Wang Shu. It changed hands for a price of HKD 437,500.00 (€ 48,152.04) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 350,000.00 – 450,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Shu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Superfluous Words On Calligraphy, which sold at auction in September 2012 for USD 134,500.00 (€ 104,620.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ouyang Xun'S Inscription In The Jiucheng Palace von Wang Shu zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 437.500,00 (€ 48.152,04) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 350.000,00 – 450.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Shu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Superfluous Words On Calligraphy beobachtet, die im September 2012 für USD 134.500,00 (€ 104.620,41) versteigert wurde.
