Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.
In March last year Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg, which included the work Three Wise Monkeys by Nakamura Hochu. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,670.00 (€ 5,111.33), 42% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nakamura Hochu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cranes and sunrise, which sold at auction in October 2001 for USD 9,987.50 (€ 11,105.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art Including the Collection of David and Nayda Utterberg durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Wise Monkeys von Nakamura Hochu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.670,00 (€ 5.111,33) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Nakamura Hochu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cranes and sunrise beobachtet, die im Oktober 2001 für USD 9.987,50 (€ 11.105,86) versteigert wurde.
