A top price for Shoeido Eisho - as previously expected
In November 2007 Christies in London held the auction Japanese Ceramics & Works of Art, which included the work Unknown by Shoeido Eisho. The auction ended at the price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,100.39), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Unknown is the most expensive artwork by Shoeido Eisho that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Japanese Ceramics & Works of Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von Shoeido Eisho zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 2.100,39) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Unknown das teuerste Kunstwerk von Shoeido Eisho, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
