Auction result well in line with expectations
In March this year Phillips in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Whisper by Fu Rao. The price achieved of HKD 40,640.00 (€ 4,758.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 32,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fu Rao achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work This Life, The Past Life (Painted In 2019) in April this year with an auction result of HKD 204,000.00 (€ 208,323.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Phillips in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Whisper von Fu Rao zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 40.640,00 (€ 4.758,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 32.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fu Rao erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit This Life, The Past Life (Painted In 2019) im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 204.000,00 (€ 208.323,91).
