Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Kano Tessai could be acquired at Bonhams in New York in June 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Edo Sparkle and Tokyo SplendorJapanese Art of the Last Three Centuries auction, the work A Bamboo Senbai (Tea Scoop) changed hands for USD 765.00 (€ 645.68) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kano Tessai - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Noh Mask Of Okina, which sold at auction in June 2021 for USD 2,040.00 (€ 1,721.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kano Tessai konnte im Juni 2021 bei Bonhams in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Edo Sparkle and Tokyo SplendorJapanese Art of the Last Three Centuries wechselte die Arbeit A Bamboo Senbai (Tea Scoop) für USD 765,00 (€ 645,68) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Kano Tessai mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Noh Mask Of Okina beobachtet, die im Juni 2021 für USD 2.040,00 (€ 1.721,81) versteigert wurde.
