Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Meigi Takao (The famous courtesan Takao) by Uemura Shoen was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2001. The price achieved of USD 28,200.00 (€ 33,353.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Uemura Shoen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauties of the twelve months in March 2003 with an auction result of USD 399,500.00 (€ 366,513.76).
