This artwork by Ioki Bunsai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in March last year. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Nikko sold for USD 5,355.00 (€ 4,827.37) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ioki Bunsai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nikko Toshogu Honden, which sold at auction in March last year for USD 11,475.00 (€ 10,344.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen

In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Nikko für USD 5.355,00 (€ 4.827,37) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00.
