Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February last year Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern Art Online, which included the work (i) Evening at Thanh Da near Thi Nghe, Saigon (ii) Afternoon in the River of Perfume, Hue (iii) Landscape of Annam by Henri Mège. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 32,760.00 (€ 3,733.08). Admittedly, works by Henri Mège have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Spring Morning In A Countryside Near Hue in October 2018 with an auction result of HKD 137,500.00 (€ 15,482.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit (i) Evening at Thanh Da near Thi Nghe, Saigon (ii) Afternoon in the River of Perfume, Hue (iii) Landscape of Annam von Henri Mège zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 32.760,00 (€ 3.733,08) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henri Mège auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Spring Morning In A Countryside Near Hue im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 137.500,00 (€ 15.482,70).
