Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Ni Sibih by Willem Gerard Hofker was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2019. The price achieved of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 42,918.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 300,000.00 – 450,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem Gerard Hofker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ni Goesti Kompiang Mawar in November 2012 with an auction result of EUR 781,000.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Ni Sibih von Willem Gerard Hofker kam im Mai 2019 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 375.000,00 (€ 42.918,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 300.000,00 – 450.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem Gerard Hofker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ni Goesti Kompiang Mawar im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 781.000,00.
