Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Leisure Living by Tang Dai was worth HKD 7,943,500.00 (€ 694,407.27) to a buyer in November 2007. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings & Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 1,500,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tang Dai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stream-Laced Mountain After Snow, which sold at auction in March 2013 for USD 2,741,000.00 (€ 2,138,732.83).
