Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Hermit Fisherman by Wang Fu. The price achieved of HKD 2,640,000.00 (€ 251,381.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 2,500,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Wang Fu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Old Trees in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 12,036,000.00 (€ 1,324,703.98).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hermit Fisherman von Wang Fu zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 2.640.000,00 (€ 251.381,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 2.500.000,00 – 3.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wang Fu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Old Trees im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 12.036.000,00 (€ 1.324.703,98).
