Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work Wonderful Bait by Ronald Ventura was worth HKD 7,840,000.00 (€ 741,466.28) to a buyer in May 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 1,000,000.00 many times over.
