Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2016 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art, which included the work Seri Sapuan Kaligrafi (Sweeps Of Calligraphy Series) by Mochtar Apin. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 212,500.00 (€ 23,941.31) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mochtar Apin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Memecah (Triptych), which sold at auction in October 2016 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 88,259.44).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2016 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seri Sapuan Kaligrafi (Sweeps Of Calligraphy Series) von Mochtar Apin zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 212.500,00 (€ 23.941,31) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Mochtar Apin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Memecah (Triptych) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für HKD 750.000,00 (€ 88.259,44) versteigert wurde.
