The work At the Water's Edge by Shen Hanwu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2018. It achieved a price of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 42,325.36), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shen Hanwu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Descendants Of The Dragon, which sold at auction in April 2014 for HKD 1,480,000.00 (€ 137,649.60).
