The work Flowers and Birds by Song Yu was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2010. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 68,750.00 (€ 7,142.35), 38% above the upper estimate. 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).
