Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2019 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Misty Mountains by Gu Mei. The price achieved of HKD 62,500.00 (€ 7,143.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Admittedly, works by Gu Mei have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Red Cliff in April last year with an auction result of HKD 327,600.00 (€ 39,609.22).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Misty Mountains von Gu Mei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 62.500,00 (€ 7.143,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gu Mei auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Red Cliff im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 327.600,00 (€ 39.609,22).
