Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Fishing Village by Chen Wen Hsi was sold in the Convergences: A Special Sale of Singapore Art auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 800,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 875,000.00 (€ 106,868.96). 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 Fishing Village von Chen Wen Hsi wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Convergences: A Special Sale of Singapore Art bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 800.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 875.000,00 (€ 106.868,96) 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).
