Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Scholars Talking Among Autumn Mountain by Wu Weiye was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017. The price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 21,031.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 18,000.00 – 26,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Weiye achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape in October 2013 with an auction result of HKD 6,670,000.00 (€ 632,948.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Scholars Talking Among Autumn Mountain von Wu Weiye kam im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 21.031,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 18.000,00 – 26.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wu Weiye erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 6.670.000,00 (€ 632.948,36).
