Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy Couplet by Tong Danian was worth HKD 17,700.00 (€ 2,045.79) to a buyer in May 2016. This price was achieved in the auction The Beauty of Brushes - A Selection of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy 2 at POLY in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 5,001.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tong Danian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Jinwen, which sold at auction in October 2013 for HKD 47,500.00 (€ 4,507.50).
