This artwork by Rolando Ventura achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2017. In the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art auction, the work Astro Boy sold for HKD 150,000.00 (€ 17,705.37) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rolando Ventura - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cream Of The 14Th Crop, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 500,000.00 (€ 57,785.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Rolando Ventura erzielte im April 2017 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Astro Boy für HKD 150.000,00 (€ 17.705,37) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Rolando Ventura mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cream Of The 14Th Crop beobachtet, die im April 2015 für HKD 500.000,00 (€ 57.785,34) versteigert wurde.
