The work Luohan by Xiao Lisheng was sold in the On Wings of Song: Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Robert van Gulik auction at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2020. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 32,500.00 (€ 3,428.05), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xiao Lisheng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sleeping Monk/Amitabha, which sold at auction in May 2018 for HKD 87,500.00 (€ 9,559.77).
