Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Wu Wei could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Cal auction, the work Fishermen changed hands for USD 56,250.00 (€ 41,558.92) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wu Wei konnte im September 2013 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Cal wechselte die Arbeit Fishermen für USD 56.250,00 (€ 41.558,92) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. 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).
