Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese And Korean Art, which included the work Katsukawa Shunko (1743-1812) by Katsukawa Shunko. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,250.00 (€ 790.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Katsukawa Shunko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Unknown in March 2003 with an auction result of USD 10,157.50 (€ 9,318.81).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese And Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Katsukawa Shunko (1743-1812) von Katsukawa Shunko zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.250,00 (€ 790,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Katsukawa Shunko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Unknown im März 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.157,50 (€ 9.318,81).
