The work Sister Plum Blossom by Ling Jian was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. It achieved a price of HKD 920,000.00 (€ 82,298.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 31%. 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).
