In May 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) / Contemporaries: Voices from East and West (Evening Sale), which included the work Still Life with Rambutans, Mangosteens and Pineapple by Georgette Chen. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 4,300,000.00 (€ 469,794.34), 43% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Georgette Chen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life with Big Durian, which sold at auction in May this year for HKD 14,290,000.00 (€ 1,712,814.91).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 4.300.000,00 (€ 469.794,34) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Georgette Chen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life with Big Durian beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für HKD 14.290.000,00 (€ 1.712.814,91) versteigert wurde.
