Sold at the lower estimate price

The work Saishiki mitsu no asa (Colors of the triple dawn) by Torii Kiyonaga was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2009. The result of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,770.45) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. 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.

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit Saishiki mitsu no asa (Colors of the triple dawn) von Torii Kiyonaga kam im März 2009 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion.

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.
