Despite a disappointment, a good price for Deme Uman
This work of art by Deme Uman could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Chinese & Japanese Works of Art Part II auction, the work A wood mask netsuke of fox changed hands for USD 637.50 (€ 521.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Despite this disappointing result, A wood mask netsuke of fox is the most expensive artwork by Deme Uman that we have observed at auction so far.
