Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In March 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction First Open | Hong Kong, which included the work The Mythos of Lost Dynasties H31 by Gu Wenda. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 162,500.00 (€ 16,803.98), 63% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im März 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion First Open | Hong Kong durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Mythos of Lost Dynasties H31 von Gu Wenda zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 162.500,00 (€ 16.803,98) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
