Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Zen Text by Bankei Yotaku 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 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,600.00 (€ 2,965.65). Admittedly, works by Bankei Yotaku have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Zen Text in March 2006 with an auction result of USD 19,200.00 (€ 15,816.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Zen Text von Bankei Yotaku 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 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.600,00 (€ 2.965,65) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bankei Yotaku auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Zen Text im März 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.200,00 (€ 15.816,79).
