Sold at the upper estimate price

In July 2020 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Memories by Wu Hsueh-Jang. The auction ended at the price of HKD 40,000.00 (€ 4,382.54), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 20,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Hsueh-Jang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Joy, which sold at auction in November 2017 for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 14,803.96).

Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis

Im Juli 2020 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Memories von Wu Hsueh-Jang zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 40.000,00 (€ 4.382,54) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 20.000,00 – 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wu Hsueh-Jang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Joy beobachtet, die im November 2017 für HKD 137.500,00 (€ 14.803,96) versteigert wurde.
