A top price for Mogens Koch - as previously expected

In November 2019 Phillips in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale, which included the work Pair of easy chairs and ottoman, from a private commission, Copenhagen by Mogens Koch. The price achieved of HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,973.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Pair of easy chairs and ottoman, from a private commission, Copenhagen is the most expensive artwork by Mogens Koch that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im November 2019 führte Phillips in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pair of easy chairs and ottoman, from a private commission, Copenhagen von Mogens Koch zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 7.973,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Pair of easy chairs and ottoman, from a private commission, Copenhagen das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mogens Koch, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
