Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2005 Christies in London held the auction Japanese Art and Design, which included the work Unknown by Katsushika Taito II. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,680.00 (€ 2,436.82). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Katsushika Taito II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauties Picking Spring Herbs in March last year with an auction result of USD 55,000.00 (€ 49,580.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion Japanese Art and Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von Katsushika Taito II zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.680,00 (€ 2.436,82) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Katsushika Taito II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beauties Picking Spring Herbs im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 55.000,00 (€ 49.580,82).
