A top price for Song Xiang
When the work Calligraphy Couplet in Running Cursive Script by Song Xiang was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - HKD 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at HKD 204,000.00 (€ 19,424.96). This high result makes Calligraphy Couplet in Running Cursive Script the most expensive artwork by Song Xiang that we have observed at auctions so far.
