This artwork by Russel Wong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2006. In the Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art auction, the work Bamboo Raft On Yu Long River, Yangshuo, China sold for HKD 72,000.00 (€ 7,231.98) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Russel Wong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bamboo Forest, which sold at auction in May 2007 for HKD 204,000.00 (€ 19,424.96).
