Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy by Wang Jingwei was worth HKD 327,600.00 (€ 38,893.15) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Jingwei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poems Of Shuangzhaolou, which sold at auction in May 2019 for HKD 1,062,500.00 (€ 121,602.83).
