Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy In Clerical Script by Zheng Fu was worth USD 68,750.00 (€ 64,007.08) to a buyer in March 2015. 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 20,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zheng Fu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poems in Seal Script, which sold at auction in December this year for HKD 1,890,000.00 (€ 218,694.63).
