Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Self Portrait No. 2 by Song Kun was auctioned at Christies in Shanghai in October 2015. The price achieved of CNY 250,000.00 (€ 35,840.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as CNY 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Admittedly, works by Song Kun have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Garden of Auspicious Animals in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 2,375,000.00 (€ 269,018.38).
