Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Asia, which included the work Mythos Of Lost Dynasties - H14 by Gu Wenda. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,193.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gu Wenda achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: He! He! He! (Triptych) in April 2015 with an auction result of HKD 3,680,000.00 (€ 425,300.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Asia durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mythos Of Lost Dynasties - H14 von Gu Wenda zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.193,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gu Wenda erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Exclamatory Word And Bound Human Innards Series: He! He! He! (Triptych) im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.680.000,00 (€ 425.300,13).
