Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2008 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Asian Art, which included the work An album of twelve leaves of flower-studies by Youqua. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 3,500.00 17% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Youqua have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Whampoa Anchorage in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,228.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An album of twelve leaves of flower-studies von Youqua zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 3.500,00 und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Youqua auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Whampoa Anchorage im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.228,22).
