Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included the work Hotei by Fūgai Ekun. The price achieved of USD 14,400.00 (€ 11,862.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fūgai Ekun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Daruma, which sold at auction in March 2006 for USD 31,200.00 (€ 25,702.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hotei von Fūgai Ekun zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 14.400,00 (€ 11.862,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Fūgai Ekun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Daruma beobachtet, die im März 2006 für USD 31.200,00 (€ 25.702,28) versteigert wurde.
