Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Visiting Friend by Hong Wu was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2011. It changed hands for a price of HKD 375,000.00 (€ 35,874.90) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 280,000.00 – 380,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hong Wu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pocket-Sized Landscapes Handscroll, which sold at auction in May 2017 for HKD 826,000.00 (€ 94,318.08).
