Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price
The work Picking Cotton, 1955 by Shi Lu was worth USD 546,600.00 (€ 516,439.91) to a buyer in September this year. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Bonhams in Los Angeles and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 50,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shi Lu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lotus in Splashed Ink, which sold at auction in May 2018 for HKD 9,700,000.00 (€ 1,059,768.64).
