Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Bonhams in Hong Kong held the auction Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Performers Applying Makeup (Opera Player) by Bui Xuan Phai. The price achieved of HKD 127,500.00 (€ 14,176.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bui Xuan Phai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Houses in May 2021 with an auction result of HKD 1,625,000.00 (€ 171,775.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in Hong Kong die Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Performers Applying Makeup (Opera Player) von Bui Xuan Phai zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 127.500,00 (€ 14.176,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bui Xuan Phai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Houses im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.625.000,00 (€ 171.775,05).
