Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Polychrome Ceramic Series – “Obsessive Memories” by Liu Jianhua was worth HKD 350,000.00 (€ 38,239.07) to a buyer in May 2018. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Evening Sale at Phillips in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Jianhua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Games (Polychrome Ceramic Series), which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 168,000.00 (€ 124,879.21).
