The work Mountainous Landscape by Wang Fu was sold in the Fine Chinese Paintings auction at Christies in New York in March 2018. The »bidding war« ended at USD 552,500.00 (€ 448,457.79), 28% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Fu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Old Trees, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 12,036,000.00 (€ 1,324,703.98).
