NOTE :
Kusakabe Meikaku was the father of Japanese modern shodo and the founder of the Meikaku style. He was one of the most famous calligraphers of the Meiji era. As a member of the emissary team of the Qing court to Japan led by He Ruzhang, Yang Shoujing stayed in Japan for four years between the thirteenth (1881) to the seventeenth year of the Meiji era. At the time Kusakabe Meikaku studied under him as an apprentice of calligraphy.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In November 2017 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings, which included the work Calligraphy by Yang Shoujing. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,401.98), 72% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yang Shoujing achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Offical Script Calligraphy in October 2016 with an auction result of HKD 767,000.00 (€ 90,259.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Calligraphy von Yang Shoujing zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 68.750,00 (€ 7.401,98) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yang Shoujing erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Offical Script Calligraphy im Oktober 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 767.000,00 (€ 90.259,99).
