Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Calligraphy Couplet In Kaishu by Wang Yuan was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017. The price achieved of HKD 43,750.00 (€ 4,815.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 35,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wang Yuan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Zhangcao, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 15,133.50).
