The work Ode to Motherland No. 7 by Cai Zhisong was sold in the Contemporary Art Part II auction at Phillips in London in October 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 39,650.00 (€ 50,539.52), 32% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cai Zhisong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Custom to Motherland No. 5, which sold at auction in November 2011 for HKD 1,580,000.00 (€ 151,152.90).
