Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Reclining Figure by To Ngoc Van. The price achieved of HKD 31,875.00 (€ 3,784.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 25,000.00 – 45,000.00. 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
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Reclining Figure von To Ngoc Van zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 31.875,00 (€ 3.784,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 25.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
