Upper estimate price exceeded by 48 %.
In March 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Beauties By A Floor Screen by Torii Kiyonaga. The »bidding war« ended at USD 11,875.00 (€ 10,112.41), 48% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Torii Kiyonaga achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ROULEAU DE MANCHE (SODE NO MAKI ) in December 2018 with an auction result of EUR 125,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 48 % übertroffen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Beauties By A Floor Screen von Torii Kiyonaga zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 11.875,00 (€ 10.112,41) und damit 48% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Torii Kiyonaga erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ROULEAU DE MANCHE (SODE NO MAKI ) im Dezember 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 125.000,00.
