Despite a disappointment, a good price for Hideo Hagiwara
This work of art by Hideo Hagiwara could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2001 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Greek Mythology changed hands for USD 5,875.00 (€ 6,680.69) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Greek Mythology is the most expensive artwork by Hideo Hagiwara that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Hideo Hagiwara
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hideo Hagiwara konnte im März 2001 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wechselte die Arbeit Greek Mythology für USD 5.875,00 (€ 6.680,69) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Greek Mythology das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hideo Hagiwara, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
