The work Birds And Chrysanthemums by Zhou Zhimian was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017. It achieved a price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,395.75), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zhou Zhimian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Spring Swallows, which sold at auction in May 2008 for HKD 847,500.00 (€ 69,771.69).
