Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jiang Que achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2014. In the Fine Chinese Paintings auction, the work Calligraphy Couplet In Xingshu sold for HKD 150,000 (€ 15,443) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 60,000. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jiang Que; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of HKD 271,500 (€ 24,208).
