In September last year Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work A set of three Burmese portraits Palang Old Aban; by Maung Su Yatanabon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 892.50 (€ 1,015.75), 28% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maung Su Yatanabon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A set of four portrait studies of Burmese sitters including a cigar smoker and cheroot smoker, a priest and a priestess each 32 x 25.1cm (12 5/8 x 9 7/8in). (4) all mounted but unframed, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 1,912.50 (€ 2,267.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit A set of three Burmese portraits Palang Old Aban; von Maung Su Yatanabon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 892,50 (€ 1.015,75) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Maung Su Yatanabon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A set of four portrait studies of Burmese sitters including a cigar smoker and cheroot smoker, a priest and a priestess each 32 x 25.1cm (12 5/8 x 9 7/8in). (4) all mounted but unframed beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 1.912,50 (€ 2.267,48) versteigert wurde.
