Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In April 2018 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Fine Chinese Paintings, which included the work Buddha by Yu Ming. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 150,000.00 (€ 15,827.40), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Yu Ming have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Monk; Scholar By The Pond in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 600,000.00 (€ 66,037.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im April 2018 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Buddha von Yu Ming zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 150.000,00 (€ 15.827,40) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Yu Ming auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Monk; Scholar By The Pond im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 600.000,00 (€ 66.037,09).
