Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Travel by Song Kun was sold in the 20th and 21st Century Art Afternoon Session auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 680,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 79,280.79). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Song Kun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Garden of Auspicious Animals, which sold at auction in December 2021 for HKD 2,375,000.00 (€ 269,018.38).
