This artwork by Sui Jian Guo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2005. In the 20th Century Chinese Art & Asian Contemporary Art auction, the work Mao Jacket sold for HKD 360,000.00 (€ 37,489.68) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sui Jian Guo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mao Suit, which sold at auction in May 2006 for HKD 936,000.00 (€ 94,015.74).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sui Jian Guo erzielte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century Chinese Art & Asian Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Mao Jacket für HKD 360.000,00 (€ 37.489,68) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 180.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Sui Jian Guo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mao Suit beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für HKD 936.000,00 (€ 94.015,74) versteigert wurde.
