Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included the work Ichiyo Jo (Ms. Ichiyo Higuchi Ichiyo) by Asami Shoei. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,151.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Asami Shoei have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Onna Sannomiya (The Third Princess), 1931 in March 2005 with an auction result of USD 32,400.00 (€ 24,982.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ichiyo Jo (Ms. Ichiyo Higuchi Ichiyo) von Asami Shoei zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.151,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Asami Shoei auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Onna Sannomiya (The Third Princess), 1931 im März 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.400,00 (€ 24.982,65).
