Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Tea scoop with poems; Ivy by Sakai Hoitsu was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,500.00 (€ 1,874.91). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sakai Hoitsu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chofu Jewel River in March 2004 with an auction result of USD 113,525.00 (€ 92,356.82).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Tea scoop with poems; Ivy von Sakai Hoitsu im März 2012 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 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.500,00 (€ 1.874,91) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sakai Hoitsu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chofu Jewel River im März 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 113.525,00 (€ 92.356,82).
