Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art, which included the work Seated Figure by Lim Nang Seng. The price achieved of HKD 31,250.00 (€ 3,520.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lim Nang Seng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Head Of A Woman, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,741.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seated Figure von Lim Nang Seng zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 31.250,00 (€ 3.520,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lim Nang Seng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Head Of A Woman beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für HKD 68.750,00 (€ 7.741,35) versteigert wurde.
