Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Wen Peng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2018. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Poems In Cursive Script sold for USD 507,000.00 (€ 411,525.97) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Wen Peng; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Ode to the Pavilion of the Inebriated Old Man in cursive script sold at auction in October 2021 with the realized price of HKD 5,015,000.00 (€ 557,849.29).
