This artwork by Damrong Wong-Uparaj achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. In the Southeast Asian Modern and Contemporary Art auction, the work Wan 5 canal sold for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 49,347.16) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Damrong Wong-Uparaj - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Traditional Houses on Stilts, 1962, which sold at auction in March 2019 for HKD 875,625.00 (€ 99,353.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 90 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Damrong Wong-Uparaj erzielte im Mai 2010 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Southeast Asian Modern and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Wan 5 canal für HKD 475.000,00 (€ 49.347,16) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 250.000,00.
