Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Maya by Hiroshi Furuyoshi was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 37,500.00 (€ 50,783.91). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hiroshi Furuyoshi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Maya sold at auction in September 2013 with the realized price of GBP 52,275.00 (€ 62,486.68).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Maya von Hiroshi Furuyoshi im September 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 37.500,00 (€ 50.783,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Hiroshi Furuyoshi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Maya im September 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 52.275,00 (€ 62.486,68).
