The work Flowers and Mandarin Ducks by Tong Kai was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,710.35), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tong Kai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Birds, Flowers, Insects And Fishes, which sold at auction in April 2002 for HKD 107,550.00 (€ 15,316.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
