Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Pelage-6(Executed In 2016) by Wu Wei was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in May 2017. The price achieved of HKD 29,500.00 (€ 3,368.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. 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).
