Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wang Jianzhang achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in October 2003. In the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction, the work Thatched Cottage In Spring Drizzle sold for HKD 286,800.00 (€ 31,795.30) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Jianzhang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape; Calligraphy In Cursive Script, which sold at auction in September 2012 for USD 86,500.00 (€ 67,283.76).
