Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
The work Country Road At The Break Of Dawn by Matthew Wong was worth USD 537,500.00 (€ 457,719.49) to a buyer in March 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 60,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Matthew Wong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Night Watcher in May last year with an auction result of USD 5,897,150.00 (€ 5,495,433.79).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Night Watcher im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.897.150,00 (€ 5.495.433,79).
