This artwork by Hong Ling achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2015. In the Asian 20th Century Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Plum Aroma sold for HKD 2,680,000.00 (€ 314,462.43) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 900,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hong Ling; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Late Autumn sold at auction in November 2015 with the realized price of HKD 3,640,000.00 (€ 444,574.89).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
