Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Munakata Shiko could be acquired at Bonhams in New York in September 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Fine Japanese and Korean Art, including the Crawford Collection of Surimono auction, the work Showa Era (1926-1989), 1952 changed hands for USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,321.59) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Munakata Shiko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hakki-hi (White-skinned goddess) in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 70,500.00 (€ 81,090.41).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Munakata Shiko konnte im September 2021 bei Bonhams in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Fine Japanese and Korean Art, including the Crawford Collection of Surimono wechselte die Arbeit Showa Era (1926-1989), 1952 für USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.321,59) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Munakata Shiko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hakki-hi (White-skinned goddess) im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.500,00 (€ 81.090,41).
