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 Kikukawa Eizan. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,211.25 (€ 1,091.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Kikukawa Eizan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Haru no raku (Spring pleasures) in March 2007 with an auction result of USD 13,200.00 (€ 9,869.90).
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 Kikukawa Eizan zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.211,25 (€ 1.091,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kikukawa Eizan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Haru no raku (Spring pleasures) im März 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 13.200,00 (€ 9.869,90).
