A top price for Liu Kang
This artwork by Liu Kang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction, the work Adjusting The Waistband sold for HKD 3,150,000.00 (€ 373,972.60) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,500,000.00. This high result makes Adjusting The Waistband the most expensive artwork by Liu Kang that we have observed at auctions so far.
