A top price for Zou Yigui
When the work Flowers by Zou Yigui was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 394,000.00 (€ 350,596.19). This high result makes Flowers the most expensive artwork by Zou Yigui that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Zou Yigui
Als die Arbeit Flowers von Zou Yigui im September 2016 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 394.000,00 (€ 350.596,19) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Flowers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zou Yigui, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
