Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Fine Japanese Prints, which included the work All Kinds of Things: Prizes Drawn at the Lucky Lottery (Kotogoto naru mono, fukubiki ni idasu keibutsu) by Totoya Hokkei. The price achieved of GBP 8,190.00 (€ 9,768.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Totoya Hokkei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tiger Looking At The Moon in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 350,000.00 (€ 302,323.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Fine Japanese Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit All Kinds of Things: Prizes Drawn at the Lucky Lottery (Kotogoto naru mono, fukubiki ni idasu keibutsu) von Totoya Hokkei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.190,00 (€ 9.768,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Totoya Hokkei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tiger Looking At The Moon im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 350.000,00 (€ 302.323,57).
