Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Calligraphy Waterfall by Zheng Guogu was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 30,000.00 (€ 24,350.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zheng Guogu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Waterfall, which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 560,000.00 (€ 58,337.11).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Calligraphy Waterfall von Zheng Guogu im März 2018 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 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 30.000,00 (€ 24.350,65) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Zheng Guogu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Waterfall beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für HKD 560.000,00 (€ 58.337,11) versteigert wurde.
