Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Money and the Little Red Book by Xu Yihui was worth HKD 120,000.00 (€ 13,129.77) to a buyer in November 2005. This price was achieved in the auction ASIAN CONTEMPORARY ART at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xu Yihui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Little Red Books Series 2003-2006 (192 Books), which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 34,096.01).
