Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'Rural Scene in southern Yamashiro' (A Scenic Village View of Minamiyamashiro) by Kiichi Asano was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,134.00 (€ 1,076.21). Admittedly, works by Kiichi Asano have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'A Rainy Commencement Ceremony', 1953; And Untitled (From The Series The Gion Quarter), 1956 in May 2019 with an auction result of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,074.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'Rural Scene in southern Yamashiro' (A Scenic Village View of Minamiyamashiro) von Kiichi Asano im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.134,00 (€ 1.076,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kiichi Asano auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'A Rainy Commencement Ceremony', 1953; And Untitled (From The Series The Gion Quarter), 1956 im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.074,63).
