The work Calligraphic Couplet in Clerical Script by Wu Zifu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019. It achieved a price of HKD 10,000.00 (€ 1,159.81), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wu Zifu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy in April 2017 with an auction result of HKD 200,000.00 (€ 23,607.16).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
