Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Lotus by Georgette Chen was worth HKD 1,100,000.00 (€ 101,584.57) to a buyer in October 2011. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 350,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georgette Chen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life with Big Durian in May this year with an auction result of HKD 14,290,000.00 (€ 1,712,814.91).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Lotus von Georgette Chen war einem Käufer im Oktober 2011 HKD 1.100.000,00 (€ 101.584,57) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings bei Sothebys in Hong Kong erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 350.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georgette Chen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life with Big Durian im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 14.290.000,00 (€ 1.712.814,91).
