Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work You Like Me, Why Not? Series No.20 (Painted In 1996) by Liu Wei was sold in the Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art auction at China Guardian in Hong Kong in April this year. It achieved a price of HKD 696,000.00 (€ 710,752.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%.
