Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fish and leaves on a table, oil on canvas, signed in Roman script S.Kuroda and on the back in Japanese Kuroda, elaborate gilt frame by Kuroda Seiki was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,699.37). Admittedly, works by Kuroda Seiki have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Yamazakura (Wild cherry tree) in March 2002 with an auction result of USD 32,900.00 (€ 37,742.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fish and leaves on a table, oil on canvas, signed in Roman script S.Kuroda and on the back in Japanese Kuroda, elaborate gilt frame von Kuroda Seiki im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.699,37) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kuroda Seiki auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Yamazakura (Wild cherry tree) im März 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.900,00 (€ 37.742,34).
