Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work View of a Temple by Pham Hau was auctioned at Phillips in Hong Kong in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at HKD 300,000.00 (€ 32,776.35). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pham Hau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Golden Sunset over Halong Bay in November 2021 with an auction result of HKD 9,732,500.00 (€ 1,082,155.36).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View of a Temple von Pham Hau im Mai 2018 bei Phillips in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – HKD 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit HKD 300.000,00 (€ 32.776,35) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pham Hau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Golden Sunset over Halong Bay im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 9.732.500,00 (€ 1.082.155,36).
