A top price for Youqua - as previously expected
In January 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Chinese Export Art, which included the work Whampoa Anchorage by Youqua. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,228.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Whampoa Anchorage is the most expensive artwork by Youqua that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Chinese Export Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Whampoa Anchorage von Youqua zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.228,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Whampoa Anchorage das teuerste Kunstwerk von Youqua, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
