Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2018 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern Asian Art, which included the work Contemplation by Ku Fu-Sheng. It changed hands for a price of HKD 56,250.00 (€ 6,333.83) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 30,000.00 – 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ku Fu-Sheng have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sitting High(Painted In 1960) in March 2019 with an auction result of HKD 330,400.00 (€ 37,489.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2018 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Contemplation von Ku Fu-Sheng zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 56.250,00 (€ 6.333,83) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 30.000,00 – 60.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ku Fu-Sheng auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sitting High(Painted In 1960) im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 330.400,00 (€ 37.489,28).
