Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ni Gusti Compiang Mawar, Reclining by Willem Gerard Hofker was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Asian Art Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2015. The price achieved of HKD 1,750,000.00 (€ 204,446.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 1,400,000.00 – 2,200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Gerard Hofker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ni Goesti Kompiang Mawar, which sold at auction in November 2012 for EUR 781,000.00.
