When the work Calligraphy In Regular Script by Tie Bao was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 81,250.00 (€ 58,975.10). This high result makes Calligraphy In Regular Script the most expensive artwork by Tie Bao that we have observed at auctions so far.
