A top price for Hu Shu
In April 2015 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Calligraphy In Zhuanshu by Hu Shu. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 625,000.00 (€ 72,231.68), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, Calligraphy In Zhuanshu is even the most expensive work of art by Hu Shu that we have observed at auctions so far.
