Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Procession of Daoist Immortals by Wu Zongyuan by An Ho was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2019. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 34,387.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by An Ho - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Horse Polo, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 82,546.36).
