Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Untitled Ii-411(Painted Approximately In 1970-1980S) by Wu Da-Yu. The price achieved of HKD 153,400.00 (€ 16,883.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 130,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Da-Yu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled 14 in April 2016 with an auction result of HKD 18,080,000.00 (€ 2,036,982.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled Ii-411(Painted Approximately In 1970-1980S) von Wu Da-Yu zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 153.400,00 (€ 16.883,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 130.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Da-Yu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled 14 im April 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 18.080.000,00 (€ 2.036.982,78).
