Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May this year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Art Day Sale, which included the work Village in Yunnan by Wu Guanzhong. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 2,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 2,394,000.00 (€ 286,947.44). 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 Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Village in Yunnan von Wu Guanzhong zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 2.200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 2.394.000,00 (€ 286.947,44) 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).
