Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2003 Christies in London held the auction Japanese Art & Design, which included the work Monk and Attendants by Sengai Gibon. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,912.00 (€ 2,747.65) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sengai Gibon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Famous moments in the lives of Zen monks in September 2011 with an auction result of USD 74,500.00 (€ 55,394.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Japanese Art & Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit Monk and Attendants von Sengai Gibon zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.912,00 (€ 2.747,65) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sengai Gibon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Famous moments in the lives of Zen monks im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 74.500,00 (€ 55.394,45).
