Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy In Running Script by Lin Yutang was worth USD 43,750.00 (€ 34,645.23) to a buyer in September 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lin Yutang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Handwritings And Manuscripts in April 2021 with an auction result of HKD 8,200,000.00 (€ 877,938.49).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lin Yutang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Handwritings And Manuscripts im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 8.200.000,00 (€ 877.938,49).
