Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Acupuncture by Li Hui was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2009. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 860,000.00 (€ 78,536.03), 23% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Hui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ark No. 2, which sold at auction in May 2008 for HKD 2,407,500.00 (€ 198,201.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
