This artwork by Zhao Zhiqian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in June this year. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Classics in Standard Script sold for HKD 10,539,000.00 (€ 1,231,480.22) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 6,000,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zhao Zhiqian; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Flowers In Classical Style sold at auction in November 2013 with the realized price of HKD 15,640,000.00 (€ 1,482,845.80).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
