Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Poem In Running Cursive Script Calligraphy by Yao Nai was worth HKD 120,000.00 (€ 12,496.56) to a buyer in May 2005. This price was achieved in the auction FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yao Nai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Letters, which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,555.10).
