Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Viewing Waterfall by Wu Shixian was sold in the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. The price achieved of HKD 18,750 (€ 2,019) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been given by the auction house as HKD 15,000 - 25,000. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Shixian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work in October 2009 with an auction result of HKD 237,500 (€ 20,764).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Viewing Waterfall von Wu Shixian wurde im November 2017 in der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 18.750 (€ 2.019) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 15.000 – 25.000 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Shixian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit im Oktober 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 237.500 (€ 20.764).
