The work Couplet Calligraphy in Oracle Script by Dong Zuobin was worth HKD 200,000.00 (€ 21,095.67) to a buyer in December 2020. This price was achieved in the auction On Wings of Song: Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Robert van Gulik at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 15,000.00 many times over.
