Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Stone Tower, Newport, R.I. by David Wu Ject-Key was sold in the Modern Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2018. The result of HKD 10,000.00 (€ 1,055.16) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Wu Ject-Key achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ladies Under The Pine in April 2016 with an auction result of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 84,498.73).

Die Arbeit Stone Tower, Newport, R.I. von David Wu Ject-Key wurde im April 2018 in der Auktion Modern Asian Art bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von HKD 10.000,00 (€ 1.055,16) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 10.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Wu Ject-Key erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ladies Under The Pine im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 750.000,00 (€ 84.498,73).
