A top price for Zhao Zhichen
When the work Couplet In Clerical Script by Zhao Zhichen was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 30,000.00 (€ 22,164.76). This high result makes Couplet In Clerical Script the most expensive artwork by Zhao Zhichen that we have observed at auctions so far.
