Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2016 Christies in London held the auction Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art, which included the work Hien-so, Kyoto B-1 by Tadashi Kawamata. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,925.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tadashi Kawamata - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tree Huts Plan, which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 43,750.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hien-so, Kyoto B-1 von Tadashi Kawamata zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 13.925,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Tadashi Kawamata mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tree Huts Plan beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für EUR 43.750,00 versteigert wurde.
