Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
The work Bodhidharma And Calligraphy by Hakuin Ekaku was sold in the Fine Japanese and Korean Works of Art auction at Bonhams in March this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,100.00 (€ 4,690.95), 70% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hakuin Ekaku achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Namu Nikko Tosho Daishinkun (I Call On The Lord of Nikko Toshogu Shrine) in March 2006 with an auction result of USD 120,000.00 (€ 98,854.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Bodhidharma And Calligraphy von Hakuin Ekaku wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Fine Japanese and Korean Works of Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.100,00 (€ 4.690,95) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hakuin Ekaku erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Namu Nikko Tosho Daishinkun (I Call On The Lord of Nikko Toshogu Shrine) im März 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 120.000,00 (€ 98.854,93).
