A top price for Wang Luo
When the work Landscape after Huang Gongwang by Wang Luo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 37 times as high at HKD 7,460,000.00 (€ 713,671.30). This high result makes Landscape after Huang Gongwang the most expensive artwork by Wang Luo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Wang Luo
Als die Arbeit Landscape after Huang Gongwang von Wang Luo im November 2011 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 7.460.000,00 (€ 713.671,30) mehr als 37-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Landscape after Huang Gongwang zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wang Luo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
