In September 2013 Christies in New York held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Orchid by Wu Zishen. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,770.59), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Zishen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Temple Amidst The Clouds, which sold at auction in October 2011 for HKD 81,250.00 (€ 7,503.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im September 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Orchid von Wu Zishen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.770,59) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Wu Zishen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Temple Amidst The Clouds beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für HKD 81.250,00 (€ 7.503,41) versteigert wurde.
