Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Lion Forest In Huangshan by Wu Hufan was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in April this year. It achieved a price of HKD 540,000.00 (€ 551,445.65), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Hufan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Verdant Mountains In Morning Mist, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 15,720,000.00 (€ 1,770,095.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
