Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Miho yori mitaru haru no Fuji (Mount Fuji from Miho, spring), 1935 by Ishikawa Toraji. It changed hands for a price of USD 2,160.00 (€ 1,702.53) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,800.00 – 2,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ishikawa Toraji achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) in March 2001 with an auction result of USD 16,450.00 (€ 18,705.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Miho yori mitaru haru no Fuji (Mount Fuji from Miho, spring), 1935 von Ishikawa Toraji zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 2.160,00 (€ 1.702,53) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.800,00 – 2.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ishikawa Toraji erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.450,00 (€ 18.705,94).
