Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy In Standard, Running And Cursive Scripts by Wang Shu was worth HKD 325,000.00 (€ 30,813.61) to a buyer in November 2013. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy 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 Shu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Superfluous Words On Calligraphy, which sold at auction in September 2012 for USD 134,500.00 (€ 104,620.41).
