Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Land as a Life B by Makoto Saito was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,500.00 (€ 34,001.27). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Makoto Saito achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Snow B.B. (No. 20130301) in October 2016 with an auction result of HKD 3,200,000.00 (€ 376,573.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Land as a Life B von Makoto Saito im März 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.500,00 (€ 34.001,27) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Makoto Saito erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Snow B.B. (No. 20130301) im Oktober 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 3.200.000,00 (€ 376.573,62).
