Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Calligraphy In Regular Script by Yao Mengqi was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2014. The price achieved of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,355.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yao Mengqi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Eleven-Character Couplet In Clerical Script, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 153,400.00 (€ 16,883.48).
