Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Old Form by Nam Kwan was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2021.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Old Form von Nam Kwan kam im Dezember 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 225.000,00 (€ 25.485,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 180.000,00 – 280.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Nam Kwan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit COMPOSITION CALLIGRAPHIQUE (2) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.062.500,00 (€ 129.472,73).
