Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Zhu Zumou achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction, the work Thirteen-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script sold for HKD 138,600.00 (€ 16,454.79) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zhu Zumou; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Poems sold at auction in April 2014 with the realized price of HKD 225,000.00 (€ 20,926.46).

In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings wurde die Arbeit Thirteen-character Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script für HKD 138.600,00 (€ 16.454,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 50.000,00.
