Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included the work Portrait of The Artist'S Wife, 1935 by Tokuriki Tomikichirō. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,880.00 (€ 2,372.52), 60% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tokuriki Tomikichirō; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Seven woodblock prints sold at auction in May 2021 with the realized price of GBP 2,772.00 (€ 3,225.29).
