Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Eikoh Hosoe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in June 2020. In the Photographs auction, the work Ordeal by Roses #32, 1961 sold for USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,259.82) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eikoh Hosoe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yayoi Kusama (Imaged Taken In 1964, Printed In 2016), which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 81,600.00 (€ 83,329.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eikoh Hosoe erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Ordeal by Roses #32, 1961 für USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.259,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Eikoh Hosoe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yayoi Kusama (Imaged Taken In 1964, Printed In 2016) beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für HKD 81.600,00 (€ 83.329,57) versteigert wurde.
