This artwork by Masahisa Fukase achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2021. In the 50 Masterworks to Celebrate 50 Years of Sotheby’s Photographs auction, the work 'Nayoro', 1977 sold for GBP 27,720.00 (€ 31,886.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Masahisa Fukase - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cape Erimo from Ravens, which sold at auction in May 2016 for GBP 93,750.00 (€ 122,333.86).
