Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Unknown by Kitao Masayoshi was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,040.00 (€ 2,986.32). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kitao Masayoshi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Kaihaku Raikin Zui (Illustrated Catalogue Of Birds From Overseas), which sold at auction in September 2021 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 9,717.54).
