Upper estimate price exceeded by 65 %.
The work Eight Character Couplet In Clerical Script by Wu Xizai was auctioned at China Guardian in Hong Kong in May 2017. It achieved a price of HKD 49,560.00 (€ 5,659.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 65%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Xizai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy In Seal Script in October 2014 with an auction result of HKD 3,776,000.00 (€ 388,750.20).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 65 % übertroffen
