A top price for Wu Daolin
When the work Playing Music by Wu Daolin was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at HKD 1,000,000.00 (€ 112,664.98). This high result makes Playing Music the most expensive artwork by Wu Daolin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Wu Daolin
Als die Arbeit Playing Music von Wu Daolin im April 2016 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 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 1.000.000,00 (€ 112.664,98) mehr als 14-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Playing Music zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wu Daolin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
