The work Poem In Xingshu by Hu Hanmin was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2014. It achieved a price of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 10,463.23), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hu Hanmin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet in Lishu, which sold at auction in April last year for HKD 226,800.00 (€ 27,421.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen
