This artwork by Tong Yu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2005. In the FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY auction, the work Plum Blossom In Ink sold for HKD 144,000.00 (€ 14,995.87) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tong Yu; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Birds And Flowers sold at auction in November 2005 with the realized price of HKD 264,000.00 (€ 28,885.50).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Tong Yu erzielte im Mai 2005 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY wurde die Arbeit Plum Blossom In Ink für HKD 144.000,00 (€ 14.995,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 50.000,00.
