The work Growling Bear by Zhang Kunyi was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2019. It achieved a price of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 21,342.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Kunyi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mice And Turnip, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 687,500.00 (€ 75,667.50).
