A top price for Wo Ren - as previously expected
The work Calligraphy Couplet in Running Script by Wo Ren was auctioned at Bonhams in Hong Kong in July 2020. The price achieved of HKD 12,750.00 (€ 1,396.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 10,000.00 – 20,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Calligraphy Couplet in Running Script is the most expensive artwork by Wo Ren that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Calligraphy Couplet in Running Script das teuerste Kunstwerk von Wo Ren, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
