A top price for Zhou Tianqiu
When the work Calligraphy In Running Script by Zhou Tianqiu 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 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 485,000.00 (€ 358,330.25). This high result makes Calligraphy In Running Script the most expensive artwork by Zhou Tianqiu that we have observed at auctions so far.
