A top price for Zhang Dali - as previously expected

The work Chinese Offspring by Zhang Dali was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction auction at Christies in London in October 2011. The price achieved of GBP 91,250.00 (€ 105,604.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Chinese Offspring is the most expensive artwork by Zhang Dali that we have observed at auctions so far.
