Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Showa era (1926-1989), dated 1978 and 1979 by Junichiro Sekino was sold in the Patient Detail, Perfect DesignJapanese Art across the Centuries auction at Bonhams in London in November last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,181.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Junichiro Sekino - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yoshida Bungoro, which sold at auction in March 2001 for USD 3,525.00 (€ 4,008.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Showa era (1926-1989), dated 1978 and 1979 von Junichiro Sekino wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Patient Detail, Perfect DesignJapanese Art across the Centuries bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.181,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Junichiro Sekino mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yoshida Bungoro beobachtet, die im März 2001 für USD 3.525,00 (€ 4.008,41) versteigert wurde.
