Auction result well in line with expectations
In September last year Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Summer Reverie: Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Mountains of Heaven by Wesley Tongson. The price achieved of HKD 52,920.00 (€ 6,886.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wesley Tongson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Green Mountains, which sold at auction in November 2021 for HKD 212,500.00 (€ 23,627.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Summer Reverie: Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mountains of Heaven von Wesley Tongson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 52.920,00 (€ 6.886,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wesley Tongson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Green Mountains beobachtet, die im November 2021 für HKD 212.500,00 (€ 23.627,85) versteigert wurde.
