A top price for Ida Bagus Ketut Soenia - as previously expected
In September 2001 Christies in Singapore held the auction PRE-WAR BALINESE MODERNISTS: 1928-1942, which included the work Tantric Scene by Ida Bagus Ketut Soenia. The price achieved of SGD 5,640.00 (€ 3,507.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as SGD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Tantric Scene is the most expensive artwork by Ida Bagus Ketut Soenia that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2001 führte Christies in Singapur die Auktion PRE-WAR BALINESE MODERNISTS: 1928-1942 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tantric Scene von Ida Bagus Ketut Soenia zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von SGD 5.640,00 (€ 3.507,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit SGD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Tantric Scene das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ida Bagus Ketut Soenia, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
