A top price for He Jian - as previously expected
The work Take a Photo as a Souvenir; & Travel by He Jian was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. It changed hands for a price of HKD 75,000.00 (€ 6,709.10) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Take a Photo as a Souvenir; & Travel is the most expensive artwork by He Jian that we have observed at auctions so far.
