Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Calligraphy Couplet In Running Script by Xi Gang was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2015. The price achieved of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,159.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Xi Gang have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Landscape After Dong Yuan in May 2005 with an auction result of HKD 504,000.00 (€ 52,485.55).
