Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work A Woodblock Print Triptych and a Woodblock Print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Bonhams in New York in September last year. It achieved a price of USD 4,080.00 (€ 4,170.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. 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).

Die Arbeit A Woodblock Print Triptych and a Woodblock Print von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 4.080,00 (€ 4.170,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 63%. 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).
