Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Attap Houses by Chen Wen Hsi was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2021. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 900,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 1,008,000.00 (€ 107,922.19). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Wen Hsi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pasar (Market) in October 2013 with an auction result of HKD 13,240,000.00 (€ 1,256,407.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Attap Houses von Chen Wen Hsi kam im April 2021 bei Sothebys in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 900.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 1.008.000,00 (€ 107.922,19) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Wen Hsi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pasar (Market) im Oktober 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 13.240.000,00 (€ 1.256.407,24).
