A top price for Gu Wenda - as previously expected
In April 2015 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: He! He! He! (Triptych) by Gu Wenda. 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: He! He! He! (Triptych) is the most expensive artwork by Gu Wenda that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2015 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: He! He! He! (Triptych) von Gu Wenda zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 3.680.000,00 (€ 425.300,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 3.200.000,00 – 4.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: He! He! He! (Triptych) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gu Wenda, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
