Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Kobayakawa Kiyoshi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2002. In the JAPANESE AND KOREAN ART auction, the work Kesho (Make-up), no. 2, from the series Kindai jisesho no uchi (Women's manners of today) sold for USD 3,760.00 (€ 4,313.41) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kobayakawa Kiyoshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Showa era (1926-1989), 1930 in March last year with an auction result of USD 50,312.50 (€ 45,355.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kobayakawa Kiyoshi erzielte im März 2002 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion JAPANESE AND KOREAN ART wurde die Arbeit Kesho (Make-up), no. 2, from the series Kindai jisesho no uchi (Women's manners of today) für USD 3.760,00 (€ 4.313,41) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kobayakawa Kiyoshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Showa era (1926-1989), 1930 im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.312,50 (€ 45.355,18).
