Old Chinese roll sold for $ 59 million

The Wood and Stone painting, created by Chinese calligrapher and 11th century artist Su Shi, was sold at Christie's in Hong Kong for $ 463.6 million from Hong Kong ($ 59.5 million). This is the site of the auction house.

According to TASS, the nominal stamps of 41 collectors who own them are being rolled out. The comments on the drawing of four famous poets are written in ink. These details are proof of its authenticity and also allow us to trace its journey through its secular history. The last owners of the roll were members of the Japanese family, who had acquired it in 1937.

The amount for which the painting was sold was a record for Christie's in Asia.
