October 6, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Anita Magsaysay Ho, Fruit Vendors (550-750k) 3.2m HKD
Ronald Ventura, Fragmented of Light (650-880k) 3.2m HKD
Vicente Silva Mnansala, Arm Wrestling (480-550k) 2.48m HKD
Chen Wen Hsi, Gibbons at Play (680-980k) 2.36m HKD
Lee Man Fong, Cats (550-750k) 1.625m HKD
Brian Uhing, In the Guerdoners Garden (150-250k) 1.5m HKD

Ahmad Sadali, Tujuh Purnama Dan Sisa (350-550k) 1.375m HKD

 

Sotheby’s day sale of Southeast Asian art was a surprising success at 63m HKD. The bulk of the top ten lots were sold substantial multiples of their high estimates suggesting the market has a great deal of un-anticipated demand. At 63m, the sale was equal the Fine Chinese Painting sale that took place in the same cycle.
