Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Festival by Hong Tong was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2018. It changed hands for a price of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 42,225.56) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hong Tong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work White Moon, which sold at auction in October 2018 for HKD 937,500.00 (€ 105,563.89).
