Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Plastic Raincoat by Chen Wenji was auctioned at POLY in Hong Kong in April 2016. It achieved a price of HKD 1,357,000.00 (€ 152,886.37), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Chen Wenji; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Brimful sold at auction in June 2015 with the realized price of CNY 1,180,000.00 (€ 170,641.92).
