Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Christies in London held the auction Asobi: Ingenious Creativity, Japanese Works of Art from Antiquity to Contemporary, which included the work Mt. Fuji, Seikenji, And Miho No Matsubara by Maruyama Okyo. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 79,803.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Maruyama Okyo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cranes in September 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,105,000.00 (€ 777,129.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Asobi: Ingenious Creativity, Japanese Works of Art from Antiquity to Contemporary durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mt. Fuji, Seikenji, And Miho No Matsubara von Maruyama Okyo zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 79.803,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Maruyama Okyo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cranes im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.105.000,00 (€ 777.129,19).
