Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

The work Bali Girl by Cheong Soo Pieng was worth HKD 3,276,000.00 (€ 396,092.25) to a buyer in April last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern Evening Auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 800,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cheong Soo Pieng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nature's Inspiration, which sold at auction in November this year for HKD 11,507,000.00 (€ 1,350,289.70).
