Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Love Of Lijiang by Tu Ke was auctioned at POLY in Hong Kong in October 2014. The price achieved of HKD 236,000.00 (€ 24,296.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tu Ke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape by the River, which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 860,000.00 (€ 89,589.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Love Of Lijiang von Tu Ke kam im Oktober 2014 bei POLY in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 236.000,00 (€ 24.296,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Tu Ke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape by the River beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für HKD 860.000,00 (€ 89.589,13) versteigert wurde.
