This artwork by Huang Yan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014. In the Contemporary Asian Art auction, the work Chinese Landscape Face Painting Series No.9 (Set Of Eight) sold for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 17,438.72) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Huang Yan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tattoo Series, Plants, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 28,800.00 (€ 42,694.97).
