This artwork by Wu Qinmu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2015. In the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction, the work Pine Among Cloudy Mountains sold for HKD 112,500.00 (€ 13,364.49) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Qinmu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn Scenery, which sold at auction in November 2017 for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 51,140.95).
