Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Landscape After Li Cheng by Liu Du was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2017. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 31,744.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Liu Du - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autumn Landscape, which sold at auction in November 2011 for HKD 1,220,000.00 (€ 116,713.00).
