A top price for Tuck Tai
In April 2013 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science and Natural History, which included the work Shanghai Bund by Tuck Tai. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,850.43), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, Shanghai Bund is even the most expensive work of art by Tuck Tai that we have observed at auctions so far.
