Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sea Shells by Arthur Okamura was auctioned at Bonhams in February this year. It achieved a price of USD 1,402.50 (€ 1,322.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Okamura - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work When the Moon is Black, which sold at auction in February this year for USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,367.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sea Shells von Arthur Okamura kam im Februar diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.402,50 (€ 1.322,86) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 17%. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Okamura mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit When the Moon is Black beobachtet, die im Februar diesen Jahres für USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.367,29) versteigert wurde.
