Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A Large Dish by Shimaoka Tatsuzo was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,027.46). Admittedly, works by Shimaoka Tatsuzo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Rice-husk ash and copper-green-glazed square stoneware dish in March 2001 with an auction result of USD 4,935.00 (€ 5,611.78).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A Large Dish von Shimaoka Tatsuzo im November 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.027,46) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shimaoka Tatsuzo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Rice-husk ash and copper-green-glazed square stoneware dish im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.935,00 (€ 5.611,78).
