A top price for Gu Tinglong

When the work Calligraphy by Gu Tinglong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at HKD 325,000.00 (€ 37,693.98). This high result makes Calligraphy the most expensive artwork by Gu Tinglong that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Gu Tinglong

Als die Arbeit Calligraphy von Gu Tinglong im November 2019 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 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 325.000,00 (€ 37.693,98) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphy zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gu Tinglong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
