Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Pine, crane and turtle by Sakai Hoitsu was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2001, 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 three times as high at USD 11,750.00 (€ 13,065.72). Admittedly, works by Sakai Hoitsu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Chofu Jewel River in March 2004 with an auction result of USD 113,525.00 (€ 92,356.82).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Pine, crane and turtle von Sakai Hoitsu im Oktober 2001 bei Christies 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 11.750,00 (€ 13.065,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sakai Hoitsu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Chofu Jewel River im März 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 113.525,00 (€ 92.356,82).
