This collection began with the establishment of the L & F Art Gallery in Hong Kong in the early 1980s. This establishment sold the paintings of many contemporary artists of the day and provided the gallery owners with opportunities to meet many of them. At the end of the decade, the gallery was closed and the owner of these paintings moved to the United States. As in classical times, he enjoyed his collection of paintings and calligraphy in his leisure time away from his medical career.
Please note this lot is the property of a private individual.
Acquired directly from the artist.

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Bodhidharma by Wang Naizhuang was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2020. The price achieved of USD 1,875.00 (€ 1,533.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500.00 – 2,300.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Naizhuang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Water Village, which sold at auction in September 2019 for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,438.79).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Bodhidharma von Wang Naizhuang kam im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.875,00 (€ 1.533,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500,00 – 2.300,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wang Naizhuang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Water Village beobachtet, die im September 2019 für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.438,79) versteigert wurde.
