The work Red Candle by Tong Zhengang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2006. It achieved a price of HKD 132,000.00 (€ 12,800.84), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tong Zhengang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boredom · Ruyi Scepter, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 287,500.00 (€ 27,282.26).
