Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg, which included the work Snake, bird and cherry blossoms by Katsushika Hokusai. The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,280.00 (€ 31,803.84), 18% above the upper estimate. 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 leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg durch, in der auch die Arbeit Snake, bird and cherry blossoms von Katsushika Hokusai zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 31.803,84) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
