This artwork by Zheng Fu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy In Clerical Script sold for HKD 625,000.00 (€ 66,067.33) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 300,000.00. 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).
