A top price for Wu Dacheng
When the work Calligraphy Couplet In Zhuanshu by Wu Dacheng was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at HKD 5,360,000.00 (€ 619,458.88). This high result makes Calligraphy Couplet In Zhuanshu the most expensive artwork by Wu Dacheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Wu Dacheng
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy Couplet In Zhuanshu von Wu Dacheng im April 2015 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 5.360.000,00 (€ 619.458,88) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Calligraphy Couplet In Zhuanshu zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wu Dacheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
