Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lin Yilin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2011. In the The Ullens Collection - Experimentation and Evolution auction, the work Safely Maneuvering Across Lin He Street sold for HKD 350,000.00 (€ 32,322.36) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 120,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Lin Yilin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Missing Dolly sold at auction in September 2008 with the realized price of USD 46,875.00 (€ 33,289.54).
