Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In July last year Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern Discoveries | Rare & Limited, which included the work Three Beauties by Wu Guanzhong. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 44,100.00 (€ 5,502.77). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Guanzhong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Zhou Village in April 2016 with an auction result of HKD 236,000,000.00 (€ 26,588,934.53).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern Discoveries | Rare & Limited durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Beauties von Wu Guanzhong zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 44.100,00 (€ 5.502,77) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Guanzhong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Zhou Village im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 236.000.000,00 (€ 26.588.934,53).
