This artwork by Chen Chun achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Seven-Character Poems in Running-Cursive Script sold for HKD 8,260,000.00 (€ 889,314.17) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 3,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Chun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers and Calligraphy, which sold at auction in June this year for HKD 28,810,000.00 (€ 3,366,443.22).
