A top price for Minagawa Kien - as previously expected

The work Landscape and poem by Minagawa Kien was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2001. The price achieved of USD 2,820.00 (€ 3,135.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Landscape and poem is the most expensive artwork by Minagawa Kien that we have observed at auctions so far.
