A top price for Yu Li - as previously expected
The work Ink Spirit No. 5 by Yu Li was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Chinese Ink and Works on Paper auction at POLY in Hong Kong in October 2015. The price achieved of HKD 141,600.00 (€ 16,542.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 120,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Ink Spirit No. 5 is the most expensive artwork by Yu Li that we have observed at auctions so far.
