Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Poems in Standard Script Calligraphy by Wang Chong was worth HKD 475,000.00 (€ 44,923.02) to a buyer in May 2014. 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 100,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Chong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy In Regular Script in April this year with an auction result of HKD 600,000.00 (€ 612,717.39).
