Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Red Wall series: Offer a Sacrifice to Heaven by Wei Guangqing was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013. The price achieved of HKD 100,000.00 (€ 9,916.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00.
