A top price for Mao Kun
When the work Poems In Cursive Script by Mao Kun was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 173,000.00 (€ 125,571.60). This high result makes Poems In Cursive Script the most expensive artwork by Mao Kun that we have observed at auctions so far.
