This artwork by Wu Meimei achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2016. In the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction, the work Orchid sold for HKD 31,250.00 (€ 3,808.02) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 16,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wu Meimei; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bamboo And Insects sold at auction in October 2019 with the realized price of HKD 35,400.00 (€ 4,046.17).
