This artwork by Song Cao achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2011. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Poem in Running Script Calligraphy sold for HKD 375,000.00 (€ 33,545.49) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Song Cao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poem In Cursive Script, which sold at auction in September 2012 for USD 158,500.00 (€ 123,288.74).
