Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Shunkosai Hokushu was sold in the Asian Art auction at Christies in London in September 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 204.00 (€ 300.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Shunkosai Hokushu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Actors viewing cherry blossoms in May 2021 with an auction result of GBP 1,890.00 (€ 2,199.06).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Shunkosai Hokushu wurde im September 2006 in der Auktion Asian Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 204,00 (€ 300,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shunkosai Hokushu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Actors viewing cherry blossoms im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.890,00 (€ 2.199,06).
