This artwork by Li Fenggong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2006. In the Fine Modern and Contemporary Chinese Paintings I & II auction, the work Stone Age Inhabitant of Hong Kong sold for HKD 72,000.00 (€ 7,231.98) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Li Fenggong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Appreciating Fish At The Pavilion sold at auction in April 2016 with the realized price of HKD 87,500.00 (€ 9,858.19).
