Auction result well in line with expectations
In June this year Christies in Paris held the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Carps by Wu Qingxia. The price achieved of HKD 50,400.00 (€ 5,889.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 40,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Qingxia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Leaping Carps in October 2011 with an auction result of HKD 860,000.00 (€ 79,420.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni diesen Jahres führte Christies in Paris die Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Carps von Wu Qingxia zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 50.400,00 (€ 5.889,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 40.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Qingxia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Leaping Carps im Oktober 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 860.000,00 (€ 79.420,66).
