Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Gravure 199 by Zao Wou-Ki was worth HKD 81,900.00 (€ 9,332.69) to a buyer in February last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern Art Online at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zao Wou-Ki achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 29.09.64. in May last year with an auction result of HKD 278,000,000.00 (€ 33,004,566.21).
