Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy by Qian Mu was worth USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,705.74) to a buyer in March 2017. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Qian Mu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy In Kaishu, which sold at auction in April 2013 for HKD 562,500.00 (€ 55,062.46).
