Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Dragonfly and Plants by Maruyama Oshin was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,800.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,673.00 (€ 2,404.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maruyama Oshin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers and grasses of the four seasons, which sold at auction in March 2012 for USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,374.53).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Dragonfly and Plants von Maruyama Oshin im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.800,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.673,00 (€ 2.404,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Maruyama Oshin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flowers and grasses of the four seasons beobachtet, die im März 2012 für USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.374,53) versteigert wurde.
