Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2004 Christies in London held the auction Asian Art, which included the work Unknown by Ogata Gekko. The price achieved of GBP 239.00 (€ 343.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 300.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ogata Gekko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Unknown in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 7,832.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von Ogata Gekko zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 239,00 (€ 343,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ogata Gekko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Unknown im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.400,00 (€ 7.832,65).
