In September 2021 Christies held the auction From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints Online, which included the work Kiyomori Sokujo No Ga Jizo O Utsushi Haha Ni Kore O Okuru Zu (The Daughter Of Taira No Kiyomori Using A Mirror To Draw Her Self-Portrait To Send To Her Mother) by Chobunsai Eishi. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,591.34), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chobunsai Eishi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauty writing a poem on a fan in March 2008 with an auction result of USD 229,000.00 (€ 144,890.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im September 2021 führte Christies die Auktion From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kiyomori Sokujo No Ga Jizo O Utsushi Haha Ni Kore O Okuru Zu (The Daughter Of Taira No Kiyomori Using A Mirror To Draw Her Self-Portrait To Send To Her Mother) von Chobunsai Eishi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.591,34) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chobunsai Eishi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beauty writing a poem on a fan im März 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 229.000,00 (€ 144.890,86).
