Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Wu Qinmu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April last year. In the Fine Chinese Paintings auction, the work Summer Studio by the Stream sold for HKD 163,800.00 (€ 19,804.61) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Qinmu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn Scenery, which sold at auction in November 2017 for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 51,140.95).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Wu Qinmu erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Summer Studio by the Stream für HKD 163.800,00 (€ 19.804,61) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Wu Qinmu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Autumn Scenery beobachtet, die im November 2017 für HKD 475.000,00 (€ 51.140,95) versteigert wurde.
