The work Don't Love the Beauty - Love the Army's Power - Mao No.4 by Ling Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. It achieved a price of HKD 800,000.00 (€ 83,111.00), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ling Jian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Communist Sisters: Tears of Idealism No. 2, which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 163,250.00 (€ 206,353.47).
