Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Theo Meier could be acquired at Bonhams in Hong Kong in June last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work Drawing of Wife Laiad changed hands for HKD 1,275.00 (€ 155.16) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Theo Meier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rejang Dance in November 2013 with an auction result of HKD 5,440,000.00 (€ 515,772.45).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Theo Meier konnte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online wechselte die Arbeit Drawing of Wife Laiad für HKD 1.275,00 (€ 155,16) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Theo Meier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rejang Dance im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.440.000,00 (€ 515.772,45).
