Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art – Day Sale, which included the work Big Ideas Need Big Space by M. Irfan. The price achieved of HKD 150,000.00 (€ 16,509.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 120,000.00 – 220,000.00. Admittedly, works by M. Irfan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Jangan Pernah Lupakan Sejarah (Never Forget the History) in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 740,000.00 (€ 77,088.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art – Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Big Ideas Need Big Space von M. Irfan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 150.000,00 (€ 16.509,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 120.000,00 – 220.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von M. Irfan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Jangan Pernah Lupakan Sejarah (Never Forget the History) im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 740.000,00 (€ 77.088,32).
