Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work Calligraphy in Cursive Clerical Script by Wang Qiumei was sold in the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018. It achieved a price of HKD 16,250.00 (€ 1,775.39), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Qiumei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Correspondences in September last year with an auction result of HKD 189,000.00 (€ 24,593.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
