Despite a disappointment, a good price for Santiago Bose
This work of art by Santiago Bose could be acquired at Bonhams in Hong Kong in December last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art auction, the work Contemplating Infinito Dios and Vermeer changed hands for HKD 82,875.00 (€ 9,931.37) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 95,000.00 – 155,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Contemplating Infinito Dios and Vermeer is the most expensive artwork by Santiago Bose that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Santiago Bose
Dieses Kunstwerk von Santiago Bose konnte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Contemplating Infinito Dios and Vermeer für HKD 82.875,00 (€ 9.931,37) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 95.000,00 – 155.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Contemplating Infinito Dios and Vermeer das teuerste Kunstwerk von Santiago Bose, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
