Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy by Wu Peifu was worth USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,847.96) to a buyer in September 2014. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over.
