Despite a disappointment, a good price for Maekawa Senpan

When the work Showa era (1926-1989) by Maekawa Senpan was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in September 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 408.00 (€ 348.18). Despite this disappointing result, Showa era (1926-1989) is the most expensive artwork by Maekawa Senpan that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Maekawa Senpan

Als die Arbeit Showa era (1926-1989) von Maekawa Senpan im September 2020 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 408,00 (€ 348,18) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Showa era (1926-1989) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Maekawa Senpan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
