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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Mythos Of Lost Dynasties Series - Tranquillity Comes From Meditation, No. 4: Deconstruction Of Words von Gu Wenda kam im Oktober 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 650.000,00 (€ 71.540,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gu Wenda auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
