Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy –Live Happily by Chua Lam was worth HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,267.41) to a buyer in May 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 10,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Chua Lam; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Calligraphy in Running Script sold at auction in March last year with the realized price of HKD 100,800.00 (€ 11,603.86).
