This artwork by Song Dong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Writing Diary With Water sold for HKD 437,500.00 (€ 43,386.20) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Song Dong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stamping On Water (Set Of 36), which sold at auction in April 2014 for HKD 1,360,000.00 (€ 126,488.82).
