Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Standing Courtesan by Sakai Hoitsu was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 107,550.00 (€ 86,615.12). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Sakai Hoitsu; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Chofu Jewel River sold at auction in March 2004 with the realized price of USD 113,525.00 (€ 92,356.82).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Standing Courtesan von Sakai Hoitsu im September 2004 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 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 107.550,00 (€ 86.615,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Sakai Hoitsu; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Chofu Jewel River im März 2004 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 113.525,00 (€ 92.356,82).
