Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Seah Kim Joo could be acquired at Bonhams in Hong Kong in June last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work Mother and Child changed hands for HKD 2,295.00 (€ 279.28) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 5,000.00 – 10,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Seah Kim Joo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boat Quay (Cityscape) in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 12,381.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Seah Kim Joo konnte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Southeast Asian Modern & Contemporary Art Online wechselte die Arbeit Mother and Child für HKD 2.295,00 (€ 279,28) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 5.000,00 – 10.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Seah Kim Joo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boat Quay (Cityscape) im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 112.500,00 (€ 12.381,95).
