In November 2019 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy, which included the work Portrait of Guan Yu by Ding Yunpeng. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 2,500,000.00 (€ 289,953.72), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ding Yunpeng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sweeping the Elephant, which sold at auction in June 2015 for HKD 6,640,000.00 (€ 767,939.75).

Im November 2019 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Guan Yu von Ding Yunpeng zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 2.500.000,00 (€ 289.953,72) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ding Yunpeng mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sweeping the Elephant beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für HKD 6.640.000,00 (€ 767.939,75) versteigert wurde.
