Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Turkey by Kuo Hsueh-Hu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 50,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 25,000.00 (€ 2,899.54). Admittedly, works by Kuo Hsueh-Hu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Phalaenopsis orchird; A peaceful village; A rising sun in May this year with an auction result of HKD 176,400.00 (€ 21,143.50).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Turkey von Kuo Hsueh-Hu im November 2019 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 25.000,00 (€ 2.899,54) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kuo Hsueh-Hu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Phalaenopsis orchird; A peaceful village; A rising sun im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 176.400,00 (€ 21.143,50).
