Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Mountains are not Mountains/Water is not Water by Huang Yao was worth HKD 325,000.00 (€ 32,229.75) to a buyer in May 2013. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Modern Paintings at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 90,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Huang Yao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Riding the Dragon, which sold at auction in November 2012 for HKD 740,000.00 (€ 73,374.33).
