A top price for Nguyen Van Sien - as previously expected
In November 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) Including a Selection of Japanese Woodblock Prints from Private Collections, which included the work River Scene by Nguyen Van Sien. The price achieved of HKD 25,000.00 (€ 2,821.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, River Scene is the most expensive artwork by Nguyen Van Sien that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) Including a Selection of Japanese Woodblock Prints from Private Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit River Scene von Nguyen Van Sien zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 25.000,00 (€ 2.821,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist River Scene das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nguyen Van Sien, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
