The work Landscape In Snow by Gu Mei was sold in the FINE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE PAINTINGS I auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2005. It achieved a price of HKD 120,000.00 (€ 13,129.77), 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 Gu Mei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Cliff, which sold at auction in April last year for HKD 327,600.00 (€ 39,609.22).
