Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Katsushika Hokusai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2008. In the Japanese And Korean Art auction, the work Ariwara no Narihira, from the series Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki (The Hundred Poems as told by the nurse) sold for USD 8,750.00 (€ 5,536.22) - well above the upper estimate of USD 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Katsushika Hokusai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kanagawa oki nami ura (Under the well of the Great Wave off Kanagawa) [“Great Wave”|AID1099960] in March this year with an auction result of USD 2,760,000.00 (€ 2,538,631.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Katsushika Hokusai erzielte im März 2008 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese And Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Ariwara no Narihira, from the series Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki (The Hundred Poems as told by the nurse) für USD 8.750,00 (€ 5.536,22) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Katsushika Hokusai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kanagawa oki nami ura (Under the well of the Great Wave off Kanagawa) [“Great Wave”|AID1099960] im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.760.000,00 (€ 2.538.631,35).
