The work A group of two triptychs by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was sold in the Arts of Asia Online auction at Christies in New York in March this year. It achieved a price of USD 6,930.00 (€ 6,374.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73%. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A group of two triptychs von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Arts of Asia Online bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.930,00 (€ 6.374,17) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 73%. 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).
