Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Boats on the Perfume River by To Ngoc Van was sold in the Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 400,000.00 – 550,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 437,500.00 (€ 50,566.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by To Ngoc Van achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les Désabusées (Disillusionment) in May 2019 with an auction result of HKD 9,125,000.00 (€ 1,044,353.75).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Boats on the Perfume River von To Ngoc Van wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 400.000,00 – 550.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 437.500,00 (€ 50.566,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von To Ngoc Van erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les Désabusées (Disillusionment) im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 9.125.000,00 (€ 1.044.353,75).
