Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Still Life with Flowers by Le Pho was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Art and Southeast Asian Art auction at Bonhams in New York in May this year. It achieved a price of HKD 956,500.00 (€ 114,647.13), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Le Pho achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Figures in a garden in April last year with an auction result of HKD 17,920,000.00 (€ 2,166,658.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Still Life with Flowers von Le Pho wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art and Southeast Asian Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von HKD 956.500,00 (€ 114.647,13) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Le Pho erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figures in a garden im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 17.920.000,00 (€ 2.166.658,44).
