The artwork, titled "Meet in Harmonious Guangzhou, Share the Asiad Passion", went to an unidentified Indonesian bidder at a Jan 4 auction for $16.7 million, China News Service reported.
The artwork depicts 22 Asian women wearing traditional clothes, each dancing or demonstrating a sport. The background shows landmarks of Guangzhou, the southern Chinese city that will host the 2010 Asian Games.
The painting is among more than 100 works that Zhu Zebin has dedicated to the Guangzhou Games. The 49-year-old artist says he fully supports the event and is proud to be a native of Guangdong province, of which Guangzhou is the capital city.
Zhu has been a favorite at art auctions in recent years. His work "Liftoff", which was also inspired by the Guangzhou Games, brought in $6.14 million at an auction in Taipei last year.
Zhu's works are also popular among diplomats. "Little White Rabbits", for example, was snapped up by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, according to the website of the Guangzhou Asian Games.
