Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Boy And His Rooster (Niwatori To Shonen), 1956 by Junichiro Sekino was sold in the Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,020.00 (€ 840.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Junichiro Sekino have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Yoshida Bungoro in March 2001 with an auction result of USD 3,525.00 (€ 4,008.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Boy And His Rooster (Niwatori To Shonen), 1956 von Junichiro Sekino wurde im März 2006 in der Auktion Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.020,00 (€ 840,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Junichiro Sekino auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Yoshida Bungoro im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.525,00 (€ 4.008,41).
