Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cursive Script Calligraphy by Mo Shilong was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019. The price achieved of HKD 175,000.00 (€ 20,296.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 120,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mo Shilong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Five-character Poem in Cursive Script, which sold at auction in June 2015 for HKD 687,500.00 (€ 79,511.83).
