Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July last year Sothebys in London held the auction Masters of the Woodblock: Important Japanese Prints, which included the work The courtesan Hanaogi of the Ogiya house (Ogiya, Hanaogi) by Katsukawa Shunshō. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 40,320.00 (€ 48,149.24). Other works by Katsukawa Shunshō have achieved even higher prices, we observed the highest auction result so far of USD 72,000.00 (€ 56,751.00) in September 2006 for the work Beauty writing a letter, ca. 1789-92.
