A top price for Wu Yisheng - as previously expected
The work Peacocks by Wu Yisheng was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2008. The price achieved of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 9,261.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 100,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Peacocks is the most expensive artwork by Wu Yisheng that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Peacocks von Wu Yisheng wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 112.500,00 (€ 9.261,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 100.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Peacocks das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wu Yisheng, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
