Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Awakening Garden (Four Works) by Wong Keen was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2016. The price achieved of HKD 47,500.00 (€ 5,351.59) 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 Wong Keen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work UNTITLED, which sold at auction in May 2017 for HKD 100,000.00 (€ 11,418.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Awakening Garden (Four Works) von Wong Keen kam im April 2016 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 47.500,00 (€ 5.351,59) 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 Wong Keen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit UNTITLED beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für HKD 100.000,00 (€ 11.418,65) versteigert wurde.
