Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art, which included the work Flight by Lim Nang Seng. The price achieved of HKD 15,000.00 (€ 1,765.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Admittedly, works by Lim Nang Seng have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Head Of A Woman in October 2018 with an auction result of HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,741.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flight von Lim Nang Seng zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 15.000,00 (€ 1.765,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lim Nang Seng auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Head Of A Woman im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 7.741,35).
