Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Scholar In A Red Robe by Yu Ming was auctioned at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2019. It changed hands for a price of HKD 187,500.00 (€ 21,430.97) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yu Ming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Monk; Scholar By The Pond, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 600,000.00 (€ 66,037.09).
