Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Made Toei by Willem Gerard Hofker was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. The price achieved of HKD 312,500.00 (€ 33,645.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. 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 Portrait of Made Toei von Willem Gerard Hofker kam im November 2017 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 312.500,00 (€ 33.645,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 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.
