Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2008 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Chinese Art III - The Estella Collection, which included the work The Love Of Lake by Gu Gan. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 160,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 162,500.00 (€ 13,392.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gu Gan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Concern With No Obstruction, which sold at auction in April 2007 for HKD 300,000.00 (€ 28,089.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Chinese Art III - The Estella Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Love Of Lake von Gu Gan zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 160.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 162.500,00 (€ 13.392,05) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gu Gan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Concern With No Obstruction beobachtet, die im April 2007 für HKD 300.000,00 (€ 28.089,31) versteigert wurde.
