Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Wandering in the Autumn Mountain by Gu Fuzhen was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 319,500.00 (€ 26,303.31). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gu Fuzhen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscapes and Figures in June 2015 with an auction result of HKD 6,040,000.00 (€ 698,547.61).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Wandering in the Autumn Mountain von Gu Fuzhen im Mai 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 319.500,00 (€ 26.303,31) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gu Fuzhen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscapes and Figures im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 6.040.000,00 (€ 698.547,61).
