Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Landscapes/Calligraphy by Lin Shu was worth HKD 187,500.00 (€ 21,746.53) to a buyer in November 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lin Shu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscapes, which sold at auction in October 2014 for HKD 687,500.00 (€ 70,780.13).
