The work Walking Through the Brick Houses by Choi So-Young was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2015. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 687,500.00 (€ 80,669.00), 38% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Choi So-Young - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snow Covered Landscape, which sold at auction in May 2016 for HKD 1,960,000.00 (€ 226,539.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
