Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Ordeal by Roses #28, 1961 by Eikoh Hosoe was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in June 2020. The result of USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,342.36) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eikoh Hosoe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Yayoi Kusama (Imaged Taken In 1964, Printed In 2016) in April this year with an auction result of HKD 81,600.00 (€ 83,329.57).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Ordeal by Roses #28, 1961 von Eikoh Hosoe wurde im Juni 2020 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 5.342,36) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eikoh Hosoe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Yayoi Kusama (Imaged Taken In 1964, Printed In 2016) im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 81.600,00 (€ 83.329,57).
