Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Mist and Rain Among Streams and Mountains, 1901 by Wu Shixian was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in March this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000 – 3,000, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,658 (€ 1,494). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Shixian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work in October 2009 with an auction result of HKD 237,500 (€ 20,764).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Mist and Rain Among Streams and Mountains, 1901 von Wu Shixian im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000 – 3.000 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.658 (€ 1.494) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Shixian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit im Oktober 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 237.500 (€ 20.764).
