Clearly, Chinese collectors have some solid money behind them. At the Ravenel auction, the most amazing sale was that of Zao Wou-ki's oil painting 5.12.1969. Starting at NT $ 47 million, it finally sold for NT $ 90.93 million to a telephone buyer, setting the highest price paid for a single artwork in Taiwan's art auction history--but it didn't break the world record for Zao's work.
羅芙奧拍賣會上，令人驚歎連連的是旅法華裔畫家趙無極的油畫《5.12.1969》，從 4,700 萬元台幣起拍，最後由一位電話買家以 9,093 萬元高價標走，創下台灣拍賣史上單幅作品的新高，但這並不是趙無極個人作品的世界紀錄。
