A top price for Ganku - as previously expected
The work Tiger And Cub by Ganku was sold in the Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2006. The price achieved of USD 156,000.00 (€ 128,511.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Tiger And Cub is the most expensive artwork by Ganku that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Tiger And Cub von Ganku wurde im März 2006 in der Auktion Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 156.000,00 (€ 128.511,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Tiger And Cub das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ganku, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
