The work Two fan paintings by Yun Shouping was worth GBP 112,750.00 (€ 132,379.11) to a buyer in November 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese ArtIncluding Imperial and Court Textiles Curated by Linda Wrigglesworth at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yun Shouping achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Fragrance of a Nation in Clearing Spring in November 2021 with an auction result of HKD 59,650,000.00 (€ 6,632,475.41).
