Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in September last year. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work A Group of Six Woodblock Prints sold for USD 3,187.50 (€ 3,258.20) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tsuki junidai (Twelve aspects of the moon) in September 2007 with an auction result of USD 241,000.00 (€ 169,491.53).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wurde die Arbeit A Group of Six Woodblock Prints für USD 3.187,50 (€ 3.258,20) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tsuki junidai (Twelve aspects of the moon) im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 241.000,00 (€ 169.491,53).
