A top price for Takesada Matsutani
When the work Work 65-W by Takesada Matsutani was auctioned at Christies in London in June this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 214,200.00 (€ 249,291.92). This high result makes Work 65-W the most expensive artwork by Takesada Matsutani that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Takesada Matsutani
Als die Arbeit Work 65-W von Takesada Matsutani im Juni diesen Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 214.200,00 (€ 249.291,92) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Work 65-W zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Takesada Matsutani, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
