Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Autumn Scene by Wu Li was worth USD 365,000.00 (€ 289,040.23) to a buyer in September 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Li - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Spring Mountains In Seclusion, which sold at auction in October 2016 for HKD 6,080,000.00 (€ 715,489.87).
