Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A Group Of Three Actor Prints by Katsukawa Shunko was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art Online auction at Christies in New York in September last year. The price achieved of USD 2,520.00 (€ 2,575.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Katsukawa Shunko - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in March 2003 for USD 10,157.50 (€ 9,318.81).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A Group Of Three Actor Prints von Katsukawa Shunko wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art Online bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.520,00 (€ 2.575,90) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Katsukawa Shunko mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Unknown beobachtet, die im März 2003 für USD 10.157,50 (€ 9.318,81) versteigert wurde.
