Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Zensei sato no sugata yu (Bath house of the pleasure quarter in all its glory) by Toyohara Kunichika was auctioned at Christies in New York in September last year. It changed hands for a price of USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,863.85) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Toyohara Kunichika achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Artisans, Beauties And Annual Events in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 56,250.00 (€ 47,900.88).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Zensei sato no sugata yu (Bath house of the pleasure quarter in all its glory) von Toyohara Kunichika kam im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.863,85) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Toyohara Kunichika erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Artisans, Beauties And Annual Events im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 56.250,00 (€ 47.900,88).
