Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Conquest of the Karasu Tengu; & Water Spirit by Hisashi Tenmyouya was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 6,500.00 – 9,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 6,000.00 (€ 655.53). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hisashi Tenmyouya achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Japanese Spirit No. 14 in May 2008 with an auction result of HKD 3,127,500.00 (€ 257,476.06).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Conquest of the Karasu Tengu; & Water Spirit von Hisashi Tenmyouya im Mai 2018 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 6.500,00 – 9.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 6.000,00 (€ 655,53) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hisashi Tenmyouya erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Japanese Spirit No. 14 im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.127.500,00 (€ 257.476,06).
