Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Vietnam by Chen Cheng Mei was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. It changed hands for a price of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 11,892.12) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Cheng Mei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work China Town Back Alley II, which sold at auction in December 2021 for HKD 225,000.00 (€ 25,485.95).
