Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Lotus and Birds by Yu Zhonglin was worth USD 25,000.00 (€ 20,292.21) to a buyer in March 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yu Zhonglin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Birds By The Waterweeds, which sold at auction in October 2014 for HKD 600,000.00 (€ 61,771.75).
