Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Tony Wong could be acquired at Sothebys in Hong Kong in November 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Figure and Form: Modern Art Featuring Bridging Generations, Property from an Important Southeast Asian Private Museum auction, the work Boy and Swan changed hands for HKD 17,640.00 (€ 1,961.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tony Wong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chameleon in November 2007 with an auction result of HKD 463,500.00 (€ 40,518.38).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tony Wong konnte im November 2021 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Figure and Form: Modern Art Featuring Bridging Generations, Property from an Important Southeast Asian Private Museum wechselte die Arbeit Boy and Swan für HKD 17.640,00 (€ 1.961,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tony Wong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chameleon im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 463.500,00 (€ 40.518,38).
