This artwork by Zeng Fanzhi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. In the Asian Contemporary Art and Chinese 20th Century Art(Evening Sale) auction, the work Mask Series sold for HKD 19,700,000.00 (€ 2,046,608.46) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 10,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Zeng Fanzhi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Last Supper in October 2013 with an auction result of HKD 180,440,000.00 (€ 17,122,818.89).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Zeng Fanzhi erzielte im Mai 2010 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Asian Contemporary Art and Chinese 20th Century Art(Evening Sale) wurde die Arbeit Mask Series für HKD 19.700.000,00 (€ 2.046.608,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 10.000.000,00.
