‘My highlight of 2017’ – Zao Wou-Ki’s ‘29.09.64’ was thought to be missing until recently. It came as a shock to Clara Rivollet, our Contemporary Asian Art specialist in Paris, when she received a phone call inviting her to view the work.
.
‘I was blown away,’ says Rivollet, recalling her first impressions. ‘The painting was too big for the apartment, and I could only imagine the impulsiveness of the owner’s father, who had bought it directly from the artist’s studio in 1969.’
.
At auction, the work was the focus of a keenly contested bidding battle on the phones. Eventually, it more than tripled its low estimate and set a world-auction record for the artist.
