Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Sengai Gibon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2008. In the Japanese And Korean Art auction, the work Nanquan chopping the kitten in two sold for USD 21,250.00 (€ 13,445.11) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00.
