Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams held the auction Japan-Mania (Online-only), which included the work A courtesan jealously watching the intimacy between her apprentice and a client in a Yoshiwara brothel by Suzuki Harunobu. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 640.00 (€ 741.62) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Suzuki Harunobu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Furyu enshoku Maneemon (Fashionable lusty Maneemon) in March 2007 with an auction result of USD 144,000.00 (€ 107,671.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Japan-Mania (Online-only) durch, in der auch die Arbeit A courtesan jealously watching the intimacy between her apprentice and a client in a Yoshiwara brothel von Suzuki Harunobu zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 640,00 (€ 741,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Suzuki Harunobu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Furyu enshoku Maneemon (Fashionable lusty Maneemon) im März 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 144.000,00 (€ 107.671,60).
