The work Deception by Tony Wong was sold in the 20th Century Chinese Art auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014. It achieved a price of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 11,582.20), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tony Wong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Chameleon, which sold at auction in November 2007 for HKD 463,500.00 (€ 40,518.38).
