Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The actor Ichikawa Sadanji II in the role of Narukami Shonin by Natori Shunsen was sold in the From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints auction at Christies in London in June 2020. The price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 1,927.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Natori Shunsen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sosaku hanga shunsen nigao-e gashu (Creative prints: collected portrait-pictures by Shunsen) in March 2001 with an auction result of USD 25,850.00 (€ 29,395.04).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The actor Ichikawa Sadanji II in the role of Narukami Shonin von Natori Shunsen wurde im Juni 2020 in der Auktion From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 1.927,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Natori Shunsen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sosaku hanga shunsen nigao-e gashu (Creative prints: collected portrait-pictures by Shunsen) im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.850,00 (€ 29.395,04).
