Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Unknown by Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 16,628.07). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Unknown sold at auction in November 2007 with the realized price of GBP 14,900.00 (€ 20,863.85).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Unknown von Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi im November 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.875,00 (€ 16.628,07) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Unknown im November 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 14.900,00 (€ 20.863,85).
