A top price for Xue Liang - as previously expected

The work Moonset And The Raven’S Cry by Xue Liang was sold in the Sotheby's Charity Auction - Ai You Reborn auction at Sothebys in Beijing in September 2013. The price achieved of CNY 1,652,000.00 (€ 199,436.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as CNY 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Moonset And The Raven’S Cry is the most expensive artwork by Xue Liang that we have observed at auctions so far.
