A top price for Chiura Obata
When the work Showa Era (1926-1989) by Chiura Obata was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 15,300.00 (€ 13,215.86). This high result makes Showa Era (1926-1989) the most expensive artwork by Chiura Obata that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Chiura Obata
Als die Arbeit Showa Era (1926-1989) von Chiura Obata im September 2021 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.300,00 (€ 13.215,86) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Showa Era (1926-1989) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Chiura Obata, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
