In November 2018 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online, which included the work Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script by Ye Gongchao. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 21,250.00 (€ 2,398.44), 42% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ye Gongchao achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Eighteen-Character Couplet In Running Script in May 2016 with an auction result of HKD 236,000.00 (€ 27,277.23).

Im November 2018 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seven-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script von Ye Gongchao zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 21.250,00 (€ 2.398,44) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ye Gongchao erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Eighteen-Character Couplet In Running Script im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 236.000,00 (€ 27.277,23).
