The work Viewing A Waterfall by Wu Shixian was auctioned at Christies in New York in September this year. It achieved a price of USD 1,512 (€ 1,546), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Shixian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work in October 2009 with an auction result of HKD 237,500 (€ 20,764).
