Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Offering At Temasek Stone by Jimmy Ong was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 100,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 87,500.00 (€ 8,565.27). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jimmy Ong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nelli'S Dowry, which sold at auction in April 2008 for HKD 223,500.00 (€ 18,419.23).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Offering At Temasek Stone von Jimmy Ong im April 2013 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 100.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 87.500,00 (€ 8.565,27) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jimmy Ong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nelli'S Dowry beobachtet, die im April 2008 für HKD 223.500,00 (€ 18.419,23) versteigert wurde.
