Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Body Landscape #12 by Wenda Gu was sold in the Contemporary Art Asia: China, Korea, Japan auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2007. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,549.27), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wenda Gu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Drama Of Two Culture Formats Merge C1-C3 (Three Works) in April 2012 with an auction result of HKD 3,980,000.00 (€ 387,801.04).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Body Landscape #12 von Wenda Gu wurde im September 2007 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Asia: China, Korea, Japan bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 10.549,27) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wenda Gu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Drama Of Two Culture Formats Merge C1-C3 (Three Works) im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.980.000,00 (€ 387.801,04).
