Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ike Taiga could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Gekka seison senko o tameru (Purity under the moon for eternity) changed hands for USD 35,850.00 (€ 21,727.27) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ike Taiga - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shun'un shusshu (Mountain peak in spring haze), which sold at auction in March 2003 for USD 50,190.00 (€ 46,045.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ike Taiga konnte im September 2003 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wechselte die Arbeit Gekka seison senko o tameru (Purity under the moon for eternity) für USD 35.850,00 (€ 21.727,27) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ike Taiga mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shun'un shusshu (Mountain peak in spring haze) beobachtet, die im März 2003 für USD 50.190,00 (€ 46.045,87) versteigert wurde.
