A top price for Hua Junwu
When the work Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers by Hua Junwu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at HKD 125,000.00 (€ 11,851.39). This high result makes Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers the most expensive artwork by Hua Junwu that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Hua Junwu
Als die Arbeit Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers von Hua Junwu im November 2013 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 125.000,00 (€ 11.851,39) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Frog In Well/Rats' Whispers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hua Junwu, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
