Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work A Cowardly Frog by Hua Junwu. The price achieved of HKD 37,500.00 (€ 4,412.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hua Junwu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers, which sold at auction in November 2013 for HKD 125,000.00 (€ 11,851.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Cowardly Frog von Hua Junwu zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 37.500,00 (€ 4.412,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Hua Junwu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers beobachtet, die im November 2013 für HKD 125.000,00 (€ 11.851,39) versteigert wurde.
