This artwork by Yao Hua achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2018. In the Fine Chinese Paintings auction, the work Spring Blossoms sold for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 15,482.70) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yao Hua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Chrysanthemums By The Stream, which sold at auction in October 2017 for HKD 300,000.00 (€ 33,018.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen

In der Auktion Fine Chinese Paintings wurde die Arbeit Spring Blossoms für HKD 137.500,00 (€ 15.482,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 70.000,00.
