Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Iris by Qian Zai was worth HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,868.42) to a buyer in May 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Qian Zai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plum Blossoms In Ink in May 2005 with an auction result of HKD 1,200,000.00 (€ 124,965.58).
