Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2014 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century Chinese Art, which included the work A: Pollinating; B: Heat; C: Chameleon; D: Untitled Four Works by Tony Wong. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 300,000.00 (€ 30,885.87), 20% above the upper estimate. Other works by Tony Wong have achieved even higher prices, we observed the highest auction result so far of HKD 463,500.00 (€ 40,518.38) in November 2007 for the work Chameleon.
