The work Lady in Red by Chen Mei was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2016. It achieved a price of HKD 150,000.00 (€ 18,278.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Mei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Religious Procession, which sold at auction in November 2016 for HKD 500,000.00 (€ 60,928.34).
