Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 31 January 1973 by Richard Lin was sold in the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2021. The price achieved of HKD 2,125,000.00 (€ 240,700.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Lin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work January 1967, which sold at auction in September 2018 for HKD 7,670,000.00 (€ 844,082.77).
