A top price for Yang Shanshen

The work The Chinese Zodiac by Yang Shanshen was sold in the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2012. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 3,800,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 4,220,000.00 (€ 418,431.98). With this result, The Chinese Zodiac is even the most expensive work of art by Yang Shanshen that we have observed at auctions so far.
