This artwork by Liu Kang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2015. In the Convergences: A Special Sale of Singapore Art auction, the work View Of The Kampung sold for HKD 687,500.00 (€ 83,968.47) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 380,000.00. Admittedly, works by Liu Kang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Adjusting The Waistband in May last year with an auction result of HKD 3,150,000.00 (€ 373,972.60).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Liu Kang erzielte im November 2015 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Convergences: A Special Sale of Singapore Art wurde die Arbeit View Of The Kampung für HKD 687.500,00 (€ 83.968,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 380.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Liu Kang auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Adjusting The Waistband im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.150.000,00 (€ 373.972,60).
