Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mythos Of Lost Dynasties Series - Tranquillity Comes From Meditation, No. 4: Deconstruction Of Words by Gu Wenda was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 650,000.00 (€ 71,540.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Gu Wenda have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
