The work Unknown by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was sold in the From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries auction at Bonhams in London in May this year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 832.00 (€ 968.04), 39% 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 39 % übertroffen
