Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Gu Mei achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April last year. In the Fine Chinese Paintings auction, the work The Sunset sold for HKD 119,700.00 (€ 14,472.60) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gu Mei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Cliff, which sold at auction in April last year for HKD 327,600.00 (€ 39,609.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gu Mei erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit The Sunset für HKD 119.700,00 (€ 14.472,60) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gu Mei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Cliff beobachtet, die im April letzten Jahres für HKD 327.600,00 (€ 39.609,22) versteigert wurde.
