Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work Unknown by Utagawa Kunisada II for GBP 470.00 (€ 675.42). This price was achieved in the auction AT HOME - JAPANESE CERAMICS AND WORKS OF ART at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Kunisada II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hell Courtesan (Jigoku Dayu) in November 2015 with an auction result of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 89,021.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Unknown von Utagawa Kunisada II für GBP 470,00 (€ 675,42) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion AT HOME - JAPANESE CERAMICS AND WORKS OF ART bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Kunisada II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hell Courtesan (Jigoku Dayu) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 89.021,97).
