Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Beijing Wa Wa - Mermaid by Zhang Hui was sold in the Contemporary Art Asia auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2008. Here, the upper estimate of USD 22,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 22,500.00 (€ 15,978.98). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhang Hui - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Miraculous Slop Analysis 1, which sold at auction in May 2014 for HKD 525,000.00 (€ 49,651.76).
