Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Tsuki no yoru (Starlit Night) by Takahashi Shōtei was sold in the From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries auction at Bonhams in London in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 896.00 (€ 1,042.50). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Tsuki no yoru (Starlit Night) von Takahashi Shōtei wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 896,00 (€ 1.042,50) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
