A top price for Zhang Jianguo
In May 2010 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese 20th Century Art (Day Sale), which included the work Galatea and Those Legs by Zhang Jianguo. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 175,000.00 (€ 18,180.53), 17% above the upper estimate. With this result, Galatea and Those Legs is even the most expensive work of art by Zhang Jianguo that we have observed at auctions so far.
