Le Aution House organized an exhibition displaying all works participating in the auction on March 8-9, before the auction took place, for collectors to see the works directly.

The auction took place excitingly and attractively between collectors directly at the live and online auction floors with prices approaching those of international auction floors.

A highly valuable painting on the auction floor not only shows the artistic value and reputation of the author but also includes accompanying factors such as the history, origin of the work as well as archival history, the family background of the collectors are also factors that make up the value of the painting.
