Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Seated Woman by Nguyen Trung was worth HKD 281,600.00 (€ 34,054.20) to a buyer in October this year. This price was achieved in the auction Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art at Bonhams in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nguyen Trung; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Ladies in the Peach Garden sold at auction in May 2016 with the realized price of HKD 500,000.00 (€ 57,790.75).
