Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy After Dong Qichang by Zhang Zhao was worth USD 93,750.00 (€ 82,309.04) to a buyer in March 2016. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings & Calligraphy at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhang Zhao achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphy after Mi Fu in November 2011 with an auction result of HKD 17,460,000.00 (€ 1,670,335.24).
