Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Legong Dancer by Choo Keng Kwang was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art Online auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in December 2019. The price achieved of HKD 50,000.00 (€ 5,718.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Choo Keng Kwang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arowana, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 175,000.00 (€ 20,224.87).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Legong Dancer von Choo Keng Kwang wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art Online bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 50.000,00 (€ 5.718,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Choo Keng Kwang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Arowana beobachtet, die im April 2015 für HKD 175.000,00 (€ 20.224,87) versteigert wurde.
