Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Alligators (Two Works) by Cai Guo-Qiang was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021. It achieved a price of USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,044.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cai Guo-Qiang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Project For Extraterrestrials No.10, Project To Extend The Great Wall Of China in October 2007 with an auction result of HKD 20,487,500.00 (€ 1,826,712.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
