Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Two Girls Returning from the Market by Arie Smit. It changed hands for a price of HKD 76,500.00 (€ 8,190.52) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arie Smit achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Padi Fields in May 2019 with an auction result of HKD 3,605,000.00 (€ 412,591.26).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Girls Returning from the Market von Arie Smit zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von HKD 76.500,00 (€ 8.190,52) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arie Smit erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Padi Fields im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.605.000,00 (€ 412.591,26).
