Description
MARTIN WONG (1946-1999) Storefront, Chinatown SF oil on canvas 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm.) Painted circa 1976.
Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Storefront, Chinatown SF by Martin Wong was auctioned at Christies in New York in December last year. It achieved a price of USD 35,280.00 (€ 32,978.13), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Wong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Quong Yuen Shing & Co. in May last year with an auction result of USD 1,260,375.00 (€ 1,174,517.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Storefront, Chinatown SF von Martin Wong kam im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 32.978,13) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Wong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Quong Yuen Shing & Co. im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.260.375,00 (€ 1.174.517,75).
