Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Three woodblock prints, Taisho by Shiro Kasamatsu was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,386.00 (€ 1,612.64). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shiro Kasamatsu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snow At The Stone Garden (Yuki No Ishiniwa), which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,577.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Three woodblock prints, Taisho von Shiro Kasamatsu im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.386,00 (€ 1.612,64) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Shiro Kasamatsu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Snow At The Stone Garden (Yuki No Ishiniwa) beobachtet, die im November 2019 für GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.577,66) versteigert wurde.
