Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work New Year Blessings by Kong Xiaoyu was worth HKD 300,000.00 (€ 31,654.80) to a buyer in April 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00 many times over.
