A top price for Lim Cheng Hoe - as previously expected
The work Boats In The Singapore River by Lim Cheng Hoe was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. The price achieved of HKD 200,000.00 (€ 24,427.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 160,000.00 – 240,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Boats In The Singapore River is the most expensive artwork by Lim Cheng Hoe that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Boats In The Singapore River von Lim Cheng Hoe kam im November 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 200.000,00 (€ 24.427,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 160.000,00 – 240.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Boats In The Singapore River das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lim Cheng Hoe, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
