Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2016 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction FIRST OPEN | Hong Kong, which included the work Gift #19 by Donna Ong. The price achieved of HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,780.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donna Ong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work And We Were Like Those Who Dream (Cocoon 3), which sold at auction in May 2019 for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 21,459.32).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2016 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion FIRST OPEN | Hong Kong durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gift #19 von Donna Ong zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 7.780,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Donna Ong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit And We Were Like Those Who Dream (Cocoon 3) beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für HKD 187.500,00 (€ 21.459,32) versteigert wurde.
