Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy - Everyday Is A Good Day by Chua Lam was worth HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,663.34) to a buyer in February 2021. 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 10,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chua Lam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy in Running Script, which sold at auction in March last year for HKD 100,800.00 (€ 11,603.86).
