The work Reunion by Wang Jie was sold in the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. It achieved a price of HKD 644,000.00 (€ 57,608.79), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wang Jie; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot An Endless Day sold at auction in May 2012 with the realized price of HKD 620,000.00 (€ 64,587.51).
