Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese And Korean Art, which included the work Distant view of Mounts Fuji and Satta from Suruga Bay by Shiba Kokan. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 15,817.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shiba Kokan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three Europeans on horseback in landscape, ca. 1789-1801, which sold at auction in September 2006 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 35,942.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese And Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Distant view of Mounts Fuji and Satta from Suruga Bay von Shiba Kokan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 15.817,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Shiba Kokan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Three Europeans on horseback in landscape, ca. 1789-1801 beobachtet, die im September 2006 für USD 45.600,00 (€ 35.942,30) versteigert wurde.
