A top price for Gu Wenda - as previously expected
The work Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: Ba! Ba! Ba! (Triptych) by Gu Wenda was sold in the Contemporary Asian Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2015. The price achieved of HKD 3,680,000.00 (€ 425,300.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 3,200,000.00 – 4,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: Ba! Ba! Ba! (Triptych) is the most expensive artwork by Gu Wenda that we have observed at auctions so far.
