A top price for U Ba Kyi - as previously expected
In April 2018 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art, which included the work Forward by U Ba Kyi. The price achieved of HKD 237,500.00 (€ 25,060.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Forward is the most expensive artwork by U Ba Kyi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2018 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Forward von U Ba Kyi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 237.500,00 (€ 25.060,05) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Forward das teuerste Kunstwerk von U Ba Kyi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
