In May 2016 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Contemporary Ink, which included the work Celestial Chaos 2016-8 by Tai Xiangzhou. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 600,000.00 (€ 69,348.90), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tai Xiangzhou - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mountains and Streams, which sold at auction in May 2017 for 240 200,000.00 (€ 177,999.29).
