In May this year Bonhams in London held the auction From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries, which included the work Horyukaku ryoyu ugoku (Two Brave Men on the Roof of Horyukaku) by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,280.00 (€ 1,489.29), 28% above the upper estimate. 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 28 % übertroffen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries durch, in der auch die Arbeit Horyukaku ryoyu ugoku (Two Brave Men on the Roof of Horyukaku) von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.280,00 (€ 1.489,29) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
