In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings & Calligraphy auction, the work Bamboo sold for HKD 175,000.00 (€ 15,298.20) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Qian Zai have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Plum Blossoms In Ink in May 2005 with an auction result of HKD 1,200,000.00 (€ 124,965.58).
