A top price for Weng Luo
When the work Flowers and Birds in Four Seasons by Weng Luo was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 325,000.00 (€ 32,225.21). This high result makes Flowers and Birds in Four Seasons the most expensive artwork by Weng Luo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Weng Luo
Als die Arbeit Flowers and Birds in Four Seasons von Weng Luo im November 2012 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 325.000,00 (€ 32.225,21) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Flowers and Birds in Four Seasons zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Weng Luo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
