Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2020 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Art Morning Session, which included the work Lovers Under the Moonlight by Chen Chong Swee. The price achieved of HKD 100,000.00 (€ 10,547.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Chong Swee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nanyang Landscape, which sold at auction in November 2015 for HKD 212,500.00 (€ 25,953.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2020 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Art Morning Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lovers Under the Moonlight von Chen Chong Swee zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 100.000,00 (€ 10.547,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Chen Chong Swee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nanyang Landscape beobachtet, die im November 2015 für HKD 212.500,00 (€ 25.953,89) versteigert wurde.
