Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Koto Recital by Asami Shoei was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,400.00 (€ 1,977.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Asami Shoei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Koto Recital von Asami Shoei im März 2006 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.400,00 (€ 1.977,10) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Asami Shoei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Onna Sannomiya (The Third Princess), 1931 im März 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.400,00 (€ 24.982,65).
