Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Spending Time in Old Lane by Chi Hong was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013. The price achieved of HKD 62,500.00 (€ 6,198.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chi Hong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in May 2014 for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 13,004.03).

Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 62.500,00 (€ 6.198,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Chi Hong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Unknown beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für HKD 137.500,00 (€ 13.004,03) versteigert wurde.
