Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2019 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work Nous Retournerons pour un Rameau by Rhee Seundja. The price achieved of HKD 500,000.00 (€ 57,990.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rhee Seundja achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Subitement la loi (A Sudden Law) in May last year with an auction result of HKD 5,670,000.00 (€ 673,150.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2019 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Afternoon Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nous Retournerons pour un Rameau von Rhee Seundja zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 500.000,00 (€ 57.990,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rhee Seundja erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Subitement la loi (A Sudden Law) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 5.670.000,00 (€ 673.150,68).
