Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2005 a collector was able to acquire the work Flowers by Wang Wu for HKD 360,000.00 (€ 37,489.68). This price was achieved in the auction FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY at Christies in Hong Kong and was even below the estimate range of HKD 400,000.00 – 500,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Wang Wu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Album Of Flowers Paintings in October 2013 with an auction result of HKD 2,127,500.00 (€ 201,888.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2005 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Flowers von Wang Wu für HKD 360.000,00 (€ 37.489,68) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY bei Christies in Hong Kong erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 400.000,00 – 500.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wang Wu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Album Of Flowers Paintings im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.127.500,00 (€ 201.888,70).
