Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Li Fangying achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in September 2013. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Cal auction, the work Day-Lily sold for USD 137,000.00 (€ 101,219.06) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Fangying - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers, which sold at auction in September 2014 for USD 461,000.00 (€ 365,061.77).
