This artwork by Chen Jiru achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2015. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Plum Blossom Branch sold for USD 162,500.00 (€ 151,289.45) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Jiru - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 336,000.00 (€ 343,121.74).
