This artwork by Yuan Yuan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018. In the Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) / Contemporaries: Voices from East and West (Evening Sale) auction, the work The Other Side 3 sold for HKD 2,250,000.00 (€ 245,822.62) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 1,200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yuan Yuan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blues V, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 540,000.00 (€ 551,445.65).
