The work Happy Together by Wang Yidong was auctioned at Christies in Shanghai in September 2019. It achieved a price of CNY 4,320,000.00 (€ 554,211.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Yidong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Teasing The Newlyweds, which sold at auction in April 2013 for HKD 19,160,000.00 (€ 1,875,549.82).
