Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Work by Michio Yoshihara was auctioned at Phillips in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,505.97). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michio Yoshihara - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Work, which sold at auction in October 2015 for HKD 212,500.00 (€ 24,825.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Work von Michio Yoshihara im November 2017 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.505,97) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Michio Yoshihara mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Work beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für HKD 212.500,00 (€ 24.825,67) versteigert wurde.
