Artwork auctioned at 23 times the upper estimate price
When the work Unknown by Chobunsai Eishi was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 23 times as high at USD 16,250.00 (€ 12,679.46). 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).
Kunstwerk zum 23-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Unknown von Chobunsai Eishi im März 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.250,00 (€ 12.679,46) mehr als 23-mal so hoch. 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).
