Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Summer Retreat At Mt. Li by Yuan Yao was worth USD 794,500.00 (€ 595,845.21) to a buyer in March 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Classical Chinese Paintings at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 150,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yuan Yao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Cantilevered Road To Shu, which sold at auction in March 2014 for USD 2,045,000.00 (€ 1,484,357.99).
