Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2021 Christies held the auction Important Japanese Art, which included the work Anthropomorphic Turtles Playing by Shibata Zeshin. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,594.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Shibata Zeshin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Album Of Twelve Lacquer Paintings in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 339,750.00 (€ 251,015.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Important Japanese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Anthropomorphic Turtles Playing von Shibata Zeshin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 21.594,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Shibata Zeshin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Album Of Twelve Lacquer Paintings im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 339.750,00 (€ 251.015,88).
