Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alex Guofeng Cao achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2012. In the Photographs auction, the work JFK versus Marilyn, 2009 sold for USD 20,000.00 (€ 15,118.30) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00.
