Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zhai Jichang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2014. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Flowers sold for USD 17,500.00 (€ 12,702.33) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhai Jichang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Eight Immortals, which sold at auction in May 2008 for HKD 487,500.00 (€ 40,134.16).
