Auction result well in line with expectations
In September last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Unknown by Utagawa Yoshitomi. The price achieved of USD 1,147.50 (€ 1,172.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Utagawa Yoshitomi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,498.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von Utagawa Yoshitomi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.147,50 (€ 1.172,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Yoshitomi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Unknown beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.498,12) versteigert wurde.
