Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Liu Yujun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2015. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Unknown Liquid - A - 7 sold for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 20,682.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Liu Yujun; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sans titre sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of EUR 35,050.00.
