A top price for Bian Shoumin
When the work Album of Geese and Other Subjects by Bian Shoumin was auctioned at Christies in Paris in June this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 180,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at HKD 1,260,000.00 (€ 147,230.77). This high result makes Album of Geese and Other Subjects the most expensive artwork by Bian Shoumin that we have observed at auctions so far.
