Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Recluse In A Fishing Village by Xi Gang was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2018. The price achieved of HKD 93,750.00 (€ 10,556.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Admittedly, works by Xi Gang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Landscape After Dong Yuan in May 2005 with an auction result of HKD 504,000.00 (€ 52,485.55).
