Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Two prints by the artist by Zao Wou-Ki was sold in the The Sale of the Century: An Important Corporate Collection of Prints and Multiples: Online auction at Christies in New York in April this year. It achieved a price of USD 6,930.00 (€ 6,277.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%. 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).
