Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.
In April 2008 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Chinese Art I, which included the work Lady by Chen Yifei. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 5,143,500.00 (€ 423,889.42), 71% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chen Yifei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauties on Promenade in May 2018 with an auction result of HKD 83,350,000.00 (€ 9,106,362.47).

Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Chinese Art I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lady von Chen Yifei zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 5.143.500,00 (€ 423.889,42) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chen Yifei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beauties on Promenade im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 83.350.000,00 (€ 9.106.362,47).
