Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Five-character Poems in Cursive Script by Fu Shan was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2014. The price achieved of HKD 3,160,000.00 (€ 298,856.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 2,500,000.00 – 3,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fu Shan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seven-Character Poem In Cursive Script, which sold at auction in November 2013 for HKD 12,040,000.00 (€ 1,141,525.80).
