Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy by Ma Gongyu was worth HKD 112,500.00 (€ 11,156.45) 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 22,000.00 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).
