A top price for Ai Xuan
In April 2013 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work Longing by Ai Xuan. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 12,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 12,040,000.00 (€ 1,178,581.41). With this result, Longing is even the most expensive work of art by Ai Xuan that we have observed at auctions so far.
