A top price for Zhang Meili

This artwork by Zhang Meili achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2012. In the 20th Century Chinese Art auction, the work Still Life With Lychees sold for HKD 212,500.00 (€ 21,154.89) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 120,000.00. This high result makes Still Life With Lychees the most expensive artwork by Zhang Meili that we have observed at auctions so far.
