Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wen Shu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2010. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Butterflies and Flowers sold for HKD 100,000.00 (€ 9,880.33) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wen Shu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rising Early In Spring To Lament Flowers in September 2015 with an auction result of USD 413,000.00 (€ 370,005.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wen Shu erzielte im November 2010 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy wurde die Arbeit Butterflies and Flowers für HKD 100.000,00 (€ 9.880,33) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wen Shu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rising Early In Spring To Lament Flowers im September 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 413.000,00 (€ 370.005,38).
