Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Birds Singing by Song Yu was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2012. It changed hands for a price of HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,161.92) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of HKD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Song Yu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still life with flowers and chair. 2007., which sold at auction in June 2018 for CHF 30,500.00 (€ 26,323.46).
