This artwork by Hu Shu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in September 2015. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy In Seal Script sold for USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,397.42) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hu Shu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Zhuanshu, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 625,000.00 (€ 72,231.68).
