Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Five-character Calligraphic Couplet in Seal Script by Wang Shu was sold in the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. The price achieved of HKD 25,200.00 (€ 2,991.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 20,000.00 – 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Shu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Superfluous Words On Calligraphy in September 2012 with an auction result of USD 134,500.00 (€ 104,620.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Five-character Calligraphic Couplet in Seal Script von Wang Shu wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 25.200,00 (€ 2.991,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 20.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Shu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Superfluous Words On Calligraphy im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 134.500,00 (€ 104.620,41).
