Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Sugimura Jihei could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work A Young Samurai, His Retainer And Two Beauties changed hands for USD 2,400.00 (€ 1,850.57) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sugimura Jihei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Unknown in September 2002 with an auction result of USD 35,850.00 (€ 36,289.10).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Sugimura Jihei konnte im März 2005 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wechselte die Arbeit A Young Samurai, His Retainer And Two Beauties für USD 2.400,00 (€ 1.850,57) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sugimura Jihei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Unknown im September 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.850,00 (€ 36.289,10).
