Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2020 Phillips in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction, which included the work Pair of easy chairs, model no. FJ 45 by Finn Juhl. The price achieved of HKD 302,400.00 (€ 31,896.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. Admittedly, works by Finn Juhl have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Early and rare 'Chieftain' armchair, model no. FJ 49 A in November 2016 with an auction result of HKD 1,937,500.00 (€ 236,097.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2020 führte Phillips in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale in Association with Poly Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pair of easy chairs, model no. FJ 45 von Finn Juhl zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 302.400,00 (€ 31.896,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Finn Juhl auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Early and rare 'Chieftain' armchair, model no. FJ 49 A im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.937.500,00 (€ 236.097,32).
