Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fish by Ono Bakufu was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 700.00 – 900.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 418.25 (€ 253.48). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ono Bakufu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Complete Set: Great Japanese Fish Picture Collection, Vol.3 in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,694.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fish von Ono Bakufu im September 2003 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 418,25 (€ 253,48) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ono Bakufu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Complete Set: Great Japanese Fish Picture Collection, Vol.3 im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.694,07).
