Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sitting under Thatched Hut by Huang Yao was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. It achieved a price of HKD 212,500.00 (€ 24,561.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. 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).
