The work Eight-character Calligraphic Couplet in Bronze Script by Chen Shizeng was worth HKD 277,200.00 (€ 33,310.02) to a buyer in February this year. This price was achieved in the auction Dawn of Spring – Chinese Paintings Online at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chen Shizeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers, which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 137,500.00 (€ 123,185.81).
