Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work Oh, My Motherland by Qiu Jie was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. It achieved a price of HKD 325,000.00 (€ 29,072.76), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Qiu Jie; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of Mao sold at auction in June 2018 with the realized price of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 35,317.83).
