Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Coffee Hour(Painted circa 1952) by Hon Chew Hee was sold in the Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art auction at China Guardian in October last year. The price achieved of HKD 84,000.00 (€ 10,764.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 70,000.00 – 120,000.00. Admittedly, works by Hon Chew Hee have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Weaving Shop in April 2014 with an auction result of HKD 812,500.00 (€ 75,567.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Coffee Hour(Painted circa 1952) von Hon Chew Hee wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art bei China Guardian versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 84.000,00 (€ 10.764,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 70.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hon Chew Hee auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Weaving Shop im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 812.500,00 (€ 75.567,77).
