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 La Marchande de Ôc (The Snail Seller) by Nguyen Phan Chanh. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 4,660,000.00 (€ 509,125.96), 23% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nguyen Phan Chanh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Les Couturières (Seamstresses at Work), which sold at auction in December 2020 for HKD 10,930,000.00 (€ 1,152,878.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) / Contemporaries: Voices from East and West (Evening Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit La Marchande de Ôc (The Snail Seller) von Nguyen Phan Chanh zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 4.660.000,00 (€ 509.125,96) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Nguyen Phan Chanh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Les Couturières (Seamstresses at Work) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2020 für HKD 10.930.000,00 (€ 1.152.878,17) versteigert wurde.
