A top price for Do Quang Em
When the work Portrait Of Quen by Do Quang Em was auctioned at Bonhams in Hong Kong in October this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 204,800.00 (€ 24,766.69). This high result makes Portrait Of Quen the most expensive artwork by Do Quang Em that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Do Quang Em
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Quen von Do Quang Em im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 204.800,00 (€ 24.766,69) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of Quen zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Do Quang Em, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
