Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Boopan K kuro (Beaupin K black), 1973 by Saitō Yoshishige was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,595.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Saitō Yoshishige achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Work in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 353,000.00 (€ 334,217.00).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Boopan K kuro (Beaupin K black), 1973 von Saitō Yoshishige kam im September 2010 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.595,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Saitō Yoshishige erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Work im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 353.000,00 (€ 334.217,00).
