Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Bui Huu Hung achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Hong Kong in October 2021. In the Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work Princess sold for HKD 40,800.00 (€ 4,538.43) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bui Huu Hung - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Golden Afternoon, which sold at auction in May this year for HKD 108,800.00 (€ 13,040.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bui Huu Hung erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online wurde die Arbeit Princess für HKD 40.800,00 (€ 4.538,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Bui Huu Hung mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Golden Afternoon beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für HKD 108.800,00 (€ 13.040,89) versteigert wurde.
