Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A four-case inlaid-lacquer inro by Kakosai Shozan was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in September 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 765.00 (€ 652.84). Other works by Kakosai Shozan have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in March 2021 by the work A five-case lacquer inro at USD 1,147.50 (€ 977.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A four-case inlaid-lacquer inro von Kakosai Shozan im September 2020 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 765,00 (€ 652,84) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Kakosai Shozan wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im März 2021 die Arbeit A five-case lacquer inro mit USD 1.147,50 (€ 977,18).
