A top price for Hu Gongshou
When the work Journey Into The Mountains by Hu Gongshou was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 437,500.00 (€ 51,111.66). This high result makes Journey Into The Mountains the most expensive artwork by Hu Gongshou that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Hu Gongshou
Als die Arbeit Journey Into The Mountains von Hu Gongshou im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 437.500,00 (€ 51.111,66) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Journey Into The Mountains zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hu Gongshou, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
