Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Picking Flowers by Xu Zhao was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2013. It achieved a price of HKD 60,000.00 (€ 5,688.67), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Admittedly, works by Xu Zhao have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Landscape After Ni Zan in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 25,738.23).
