This artwork by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the Arts of Asia Online auction, the work Rashomon Watanabe no Tsuna oniudekiri no zu (Watanabe no Tsuna cutting off the demon's arm at the Rashomon gate) sold for USD 5,670.00 (€ 5,215.23) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tsukioka Yoshitoshi erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Arts of Asia Online wurde die Arbeit Rashomon Watanabe no Tsuna oniudekiri no zu (Watanabe no Tsuna cutting off the demon's arm at the Rashomon gate) für USD 5.670,00 (€ 5.215,23) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. 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).
