In May 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale), which included the work Interior by Xiao Rusong. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 937,500.00 (€ 102,426.09), 56% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Xiao Rusong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Still Life by The Window sold at auction in May 2018 with the realized price of HKD 1,375,000.00 (€ 150,224.94).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
