Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work Peddler / Calligraphy by Xu Cao was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December this year. It achieved a price of HKD 252,000.00 (€ 29,159.28), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Xu Cao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Riding In Spring, which sold at auction in April 2015 for HKD 943,000.00 (€ 108,983.16).
