Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Three woodblock prints by Keisai Eisen. It changed hands for a price of USD 1,402.50 (€ 1,264.31) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Keisai Eisen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Courtesan in September 2004 with an auction result of USD 23,900.00 (€ 19,247.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three woodblock prints von Keisai Eisen zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 1.402,50 (€ 1.264,31) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Keisai Eisen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Courtesan im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.900,00 (€ 19.247,81).
