Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction Oriental Paintings and Prints, which included the work a woodblock print by Hirano Hakuho. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 564.00 (€ 894.01). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hirano Hakuho achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Showa Era (1926-1989), 1932 in March 2019 with an auction result of USD 25,075.00 (€ 22,332.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Oriental Paintings and Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit a woodblock print von Hirano Hakuho zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 564,00 (€ 894,01) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hirano Hakuho erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Showa Era (1926-1989), 1932 im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.075,00 (€ 22.332,56).
