When the work Poem In Running Script by Hu Shi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 29 times as high at USD 203,000.00 (€ 160,753.88). This high result makes Poem In Running Script the most expensive artwork by Hu Shi that we have observed at auctions so far.
