Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Emperor Jinmu by Itō Hikozō was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Bonhams in New York in September last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,020.00 (€ 1,042.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Itō Hikozō have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Older Wife's Revenge in May this year with an auction result of GBP 8,287.50 (€ 9,642.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Emperor Jinmu von Itō Hikozō wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.020,00 (€ 1.042,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Itō Hikozō auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Older Wife's Revenge im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.287,50 (€ 9.642,56).
