A top price for Hua Shikui
When the work Calligraphy Couplet In Regular Script by Hua Shikui was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 32,500.00 (€ 30,257.89). This high result makes Calligraphy Couplet In Regular Script the most expensive artwork by Hua Shikui that we have observed at auctions so far.
