In April 2002 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction The Imperial Sale, Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, which included the work Fisherman by Wu Wei. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 119,500.00 (€ 17,018.33), 49% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Wei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two Sceneries by a Lake in May 2008 with an auction result of HKD 7,607,500.00 (€ 626,298.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 49 % übertroffen
Im April 2002 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion The Imperial Sale, Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fisherman von Wu Wei zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 119.500,00 (€ 17.018,33) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Wei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two Sceneries by a Lake im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 7.607.500,00 (€ 626.298,68).
