Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2017 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporaries: Voices from East and West / Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale), which included the work Landscape by Willem de Kooning. The price achieved of HKD 13,860,000.00 (€ 1,582,625.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 11,500,000.00 – 19,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem de Kooning achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled XXV in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 66,327,500.00 (€ 62,703,252.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2017 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporaries: Voices from East and West / Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Landscape von Willem de Kooning zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 13.860.000,00 (€ 1.582.625,49) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 11.500.000,00 – 19.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Willem de Kooning erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled XXV im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 66.327.500,00 (€ 62.703.252,03).
