Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work Various Subjects by Wu Zishen for USD 3,500.00 (€ 2,771.62). This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Zishen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Temple Amidst The Clouds, which sold at auction in October 2011 for HKD 81,250.00 (€ 7,503.41).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im September 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Various Subjects von Wu Zishen für USD 3.500,00 (€ 2.771,62) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wu Zishen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Temple Amidst The Clouds beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für HKD 81.250,00 (€ 7.503,41) versteigert wurde.
