The work The Babysitter by Martin Wong was auctioned at Christies in New York in November last year. It achieved a price of USD 327,600.00 (€ 317,349.61), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 64%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Wong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Quong Yuen Shing & Co., which sold at auction in May last year for USD 1,260,375.00 (€ 1,174,517.75).
