In May 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) / Contemporaries: Voices from East and West (Evening Sale), which included the work Painting Relief Diptych by Richard Lin. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 5,140,000.00 (€ 561,568.12), 71% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Richard Lin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot January 1967 sold at auction in September 2018 with the realized price of HKD 7,670,000.00 (€ 844,082.77).
