A top price for Wang Shihong
When the work Poems In Running Script by Wang Shihong was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 50,000.00 (€ 36,292.37). This high result makes Poems In Running Script the most expensive artwork by Wang Shihong that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 50.000,00 (€ 36.292,37) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Poems In Running Script zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Wang Shihong, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
