Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September this year Christies in Los Angeles held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Akasaka Kiribatake uchu yukei (Night rain at Akasaka Kiribatake) by Utagawa Hiroshige II. Here, the upper estimate of USD 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,809.52). 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 leicht übertroffen
Im September diesen Jahres führte Christies in Los Angeles die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Akasaka Kiribatake uchu yukei (Night rain at Akasaka Kiribatake) von Utagawa Hiroshige II zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 4.032,00 (€ 3.809,52) einen neuen Besitzer. 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.
