Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Toto hakkei (Eight views of the Eastern Capital) by Katsukawa Shunko was auctioned at Christies in New York in September last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,276.00 (€ 3,348.67). 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).
