Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Kurokami (Dark hair), from the series Kindai jisesho no uchi go (Women's manners of today, no. 5), 1931.2 by Kobayakawa Kiyoshi. 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. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kurokami (Dark hair), from the series Kindai jisesho no uchi go (Women's manners of today, no. 5), 1931.2 von Kobayakawa Kiyoshi zur Versteigerung kam. 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. 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).
