Despite a disappointment, a good price for Wu Zhen
When the work Studio Among Streams And Mountains by Wu Zhen was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800,000.00 – 1,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 792,500.00 (€ 740,792.67). Despite this disappointing result, Studio Among Streams And Mountains is the most expensive artwork by Wu Zhen that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Wu Zhen
Als die Arbeit Studio Among Streams And Mountains von Wu Zhen im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 792.500,00 (€ 740.792,67) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Studio Among Streams And Mountains das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wu Zhen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
