Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Gu'S Phase Series: Chinese Zodiac, The Year Of Chicken by Wenda Gu was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 120,000.00 – 160,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 100,000.00 (€ 9,284.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wenda Gu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Drama Of Two Culture Formats Merge C1-C3 (Three Works) in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 3,980,000.00 (€ 387,801.04).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Gu'S Phase Series: Chinese Zodiac, The Year Of Chicken von Wenda Gu im Oktober 2010 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 120.000,00 – 160.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 100.000,00 (€ 9.284,58) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wenda Gu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Drama Of Two Culture Formats Merge C1-C3 (Three Works) im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.980.000,00 (€ 387.801,04).
