Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price
The work Flowers And Birds by Wen Shu was worth HKD 1,240,000.00 (€ 117,565.78) 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 100,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wen Shu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rising Early In Spring To Lament Flowers, which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 413,000.00 (€ 370,005.38).
