A top price for Yong Rong - as previously expected
The work Scholar’S Rock by Yong Rong was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. It changed hands for a price of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 79,280.79) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Scholar’S Rock is the most expensive artwork by Yong Rong that we have observed at auctions so far.
