Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Roadside Letter Writer by Ng Po Wan was sold in the 20th Century Chinese Art auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2006. The price achieved of HKD 264,000.00 (€ 25,601.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 220,000.00 – 280,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ng Po Wan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Atlantic Coast, which sold at auction in May 2012 for HKD 860,000.00 (€ 89,589.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Roadside Letter Writer von Ng Po Wan wurde im November 2006 in der Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 264.000,00 (€ 25.601,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 220.000,00 – 280.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ng Po Wan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Atlantic Coast beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für HKD 860.000,00 (€ 89.589,13) versteigert wurde.
