A top price for Tanomura Chokunyû - as previously expected
In September 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese & Korean Art, which included the work Allegory of "Black and white rats" by Tanomura Chokunyû. The price achieved of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,101.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Allegory of "Black and white rats" is the most expensive artwork by Tanomura Chokunyû that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese & Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Allegory of "Black and white rats" von Tanomura Chokunyû zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.101,77) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Allegory of "Black and white rats" das teuerste Kunstwerk von Tanomura Chokunyû, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
