Some, however, believe the price to be fair. The artist, Zhou Chunya, a former director of the Chinese Oil Painting Association, has painted only three works in the "red stones" part of series, and the style is said to represent perfectly the character of the painter. The work eventually sold for NT $ 13 million, not, in many people's opinion, an excessive price.
但也有人認為，曾任中國油畫協會理事長的周春芽，以紅色石頭系列為名的作品不超過 3 張，這張抽象畫風正是他的主力風格，最後落槌 1,300 萬元，並不算貴。
