Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Beauty before a mirror by Takahashi Shōtei was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 4,200.00 (€ 3,140.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Takahashi Shōtei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abalone diver, 1931.8 in September 2010 with an auction result of USD 62,500.00 (€ 45,952.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Beauty before a mirror von Takahashi Shōtei wurde im März 2007 in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 4.200,00 (€ 3.140,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Takahashi Shōtei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abalone diver, 1931.8 im September 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 45.952,50).
