Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wu Huan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2004. In the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction, the work Cranes sold for HKD 167,300.00 (€ 16,853.38) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wu Huan; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Two Cranes and Rock sold at auction in May 2018 with the realized price of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 20,485.22).
