Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Online | New York, which included the work Drawing For Luna Yard by Katsura Funakoshi. The price achieved of USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,267.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Katsura Funakoshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Map of Water in May this year with an auction result of USD 126,000.00 (€ 118,265.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Online | New York durch, in der auch die Arbeit Drawing For Luna Yard von Katsura Funakoshi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.267,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Katsura Funakoshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Map of Water im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 126.000,00 (€ 118.265,44).
