Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Mountains and birds (Montagnes et oiseaux) by Zao Wou-Ki was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,080.00 (€ 4,865.26), 36% above the upper estimate. 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).

Die Arbeit Mountains and birds (Montagnes et oiseaux) von Zao Wou-Ki wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.080,00 (€ 4.865,26) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zao Wou-Ki erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 29.09.64. im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 278.000.000,00 (€ 33.004.566,21).
