Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Ku Fu-Sheng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2021. In the Modern Art Day Sale auction, the work A Breath Of Fresh Air sold for HKD 88,200.00 (€ 9,443.19) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ku Fu-Sheng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sitting High(Painted In 1960), which sold at auction in March 2019 for HKD 330,400.00 (€ 37,489.28).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ku Fu-Sheng erzielte im April 2021 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit A Breath Of Fresh Air für HKD 88.200,00 (€ 9.443,19) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ku Fu-Sheng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sitting High(Painted In 1960) beobachtet, die im März 2019 für HKD 330.400,00 (€ 37.489,28) versteigert wurde.
