Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work Four portraits of Burmese sitters including a priest, elderly woman, and a smoking man and woman by Maung Su Yatanabon. It changed hands for a price of GBP 765.00 (€ 890.09) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four portraits of Burmese sitters including a priest, elderly woman, and a smoking man and woman von Maung Su Yatanabon zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 765,00 (€ 890,09) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. 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.
