In the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art auction, the work Nuit D'Été Au Lac D'Aiguebelette, Savoie (Summer Night At Lake Aiguebelette, Savoie) sold for HKD 60,000.00 (€ 6,756.09) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henri Mège - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Spring Morning In A Countryside Near Hue, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 15,482.70).
