Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphic Couplet by Ma Gongyu was worth HKD 137,500.00 (€ 13,635.66) to a buyer in May 2013. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 18,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ma Gongyu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Lishu, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 275,000.00 (€ 30,267.00).
