Auction result well in line with expectations
In September last year Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Edo Ryogokubashi yori Tatekawa o miru zu (Tate River viewed from Ryogoku Bridge in Edo) by Keisai Eisen. The price achieved of USD 6,300.00 (€ 6,439.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Keisai Eisen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Courtesan, which sold at auction in September 2004 for USD 23,900.00 (€ 19,247.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Edo Ryogokubashi yori Tatekawa o miru zu (Tate River viewed from Ryogoku Bridge in Edo) von Keisai Eisen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.300,00 (€ 6.439,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Keisai Eisen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Courtesan beobachtet, die im September 2004 für USD 23.900,00 (€ 19.247,81) versteigert wurde.
