A top price for Pu Hua
When the work Bamboo by Pu Hua was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 350,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at HKD 3,200,000.00 (€ 373,845.32). This high result makes Bamboo the most expensive artwork by Pu Hua that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Pu Hua
Als die Arbeit Bamboo von Pu Hua im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 350.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 3.200.000,00 (€ 373.845,32) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bamboo zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Pu Hua, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
