A top price for Zhou Bichu - as previously expected
The work Jiaxing Misty Rain Pavilion by Zhou Bichu was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Art auction at POLY in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong in April this year. The price achieved of HKD 744,000.00 (€ 759,769.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Jiaxing Misty Rain Pavilion is the most expensive artwork by Zhou Bichu that we have observed at auctions so far.
