The work Running-cursive Script Calligraphy by Song Cao was worth HKD 500,000.00 (€ 60,928.34) to a buyer in November 2016. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00 many times over.
