I have a collection of an original calligraphy by the famous calligrapher Wu Zhongqi, the square,103.5cm x 34.5cm. How much is it worth?
It is said that when Mr. Wu was alive, a small character could sell for tens of thousands. The old man has been dead for many years, and the market for works should have been rising. But it should also be analyzed in detail. I think your old Wu's handwriting, as long as it is authentic, must be valuable. However, there are also some problems. First, your handwriting is marked with the recipient's name "Comrade Lansheng", which will definitely lower its collection price. You can think about it. Who would be willing to hang a calligrapher's work for others in their living room? Second, the word looks like an entertainment work in terms of writing content, signature (with the name of the recipient) and overall feeling. In other words, it is very likely that Wu Lao wrote the words on the spot at someone's request, or it may be written in his own home. This kind of works has a relatively low artistic content in the calligrapher's own works. What is the real high value? He shut himself in his room, in the dead of night, carefully creating, of course, the scale is generally relatively large. But in any case, as long as it is the original Wu Lao, it must be valuable. I am not a collector. I can only guess by feeling that it should sell for about 20 thousand.
