A top price for Ding Guanpeng
When the work Eminent Monks Preaching by Ding Guanpeng was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 312,500.00 (€ 292,110.67). This high result makes Eminent Monks Preaching the most expensive artwork by Ding Guanpeng that we have observed at auctions so far.
