Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Soga Shōhaku could be acquired at Christies in New York in September last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Taikobo (Jiang Ziya) changed hands for USD 12,000.00 (€ 12,266.18) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Soga Shōhaku achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tethered Birds Of Prey in April 2018 with an auction result of USD 516,500.00 (€ 427,778.70).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Soga Shōhaku konnte im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wechselte die Arbeit Taikobo (Jiang Ziya) für USD 12.000,00 (€ 12.266,18) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Soga Shōhaku erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tethered Birds Of Prey im April 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 516.500,00 (€ 427.778,70).
