Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sagi musume (The heron maiden), 1935 by Kitano Tsunetomi was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,120.00 (€ 2,332.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Kitano Tsunetomi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Heron Maiden (Sagi Musume) in November 2019 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,549.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sagi musume (The heron maiden), 1935 von Kitano Tsunetomi wurde im März 2007 in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.120,00 (€ 2.332,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kitano Tsunetomi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Heron Maiden (Sagi Musume) im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 20.549,28).
