This artwork by Zheng Fu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Calligraphy in Clerical Script sold for HKD 1,160,000.00 (€ 120,841.15) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 600,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zheng Fu; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Poems in Seal Script sold at auction in December this year with the realized price of HKD 1,890,000.00 (€ 218,694.63).
