A top price for Martin Wong - as previously expected
The work Quong Yuen Shing & Co. by Martin Wong was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 1,260,375.00 (€ 1,174,517.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Quong Yuen Shing & Co. is the most expensive artwork by Martin Wong that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Quong Yuen Shing & Co. von Martin Wong kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.260.375,00 (€ 1.174.517,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Quong Yuen Shing & Co. das teuerste Kunstwerk von Martin Wong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
