Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work B43 by Gu Dexin was sold in the Contemporary Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2016. It achieved a price of HKD 118,750.00 (€ 13,974.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gu Dexin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work B03 in October 2011 with an auction result of HKD 1,940,000.00 (€ 179,158.24).
