A top price for Katsukawa Shunsho II - as previously expected
The work Minamoto no Yoshinaka Shitenno to tomoni Kiso no okuyama ni Tengu o taiji su (Minamoto Yoshinaka and His Four Retainers Defeat the Tengu in the Deep Mountains of Kiso) by Katsukawa Shunsho II was sold in the From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries auction at Bonhams in London in May this year. The price achieved of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 4,467.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Minamoto no Yoshinaka Shitenno to tomoni Kiso no okuyama ni Tengu o taiji su (Minamoto Yoshinaka and His Four Retainers Defeat the Tengu in the Deep Mountains of Kiso) is the most expensive artwork by Katsukawa Shunsho II that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Minamoto no Yoshinaka Shitenno to tomoni Kiso no okuyama ni Tengu o taiji su (Minamoto Yoshinaka and His Four Retainers Defeat the Tengu in the Deep Mountains of Kiso) von Katsukawa Shunsho II wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.840,00 (€ 4.467,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Minamoto no Yoshinaka Shitenno to tomoni Kiso no okuyama ni Tengu o taiji su (Minamoto Yoshinaka and His Four Retainers Defeat the Tengu in the Deep Mountains of Kiso) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Katsukawa Shunsho II, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
