Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script by Wu Zi was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. The price achieved of HKD 37,500.00 (€ 4,037.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Zi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in April 2013 for HKD 115,000.00 (€ 11,257.21).
