Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work A True Picture of Itsukushima in Aki by Utagawa Hiroshige II was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in September last year. It achieved a price of USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,909.84), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Hiroshige II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Album comprenant 62 estampes de la série Shokoku meisho hyakkei (les cent vues célèbres des provinces) in June 2007 with an auction result of EUR 45,600.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit A True Picture of Itsukushima in Aki von Utagawa Hiroshige II kam im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.909,84) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Hiroshige II erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Album comprenant 62 estampes de la série Shokoku meisho hyakkei (les cent vues célèbres des provinces) im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 45.600,00.
