Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2003 Christies in New York held the auction AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF JAPANESE PRINTS, which included the work Oyama yau, Tomomae Fudo chojo no zu (Night rain, Oyama, view of Tomomae Fudo Peak), from the series Meisho hakkei (Eight views of famous places) by Utagawa Toyokuni II. The price achieved of USD 8,365.00 (€ 7,674.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Utagawa Toyokuni II - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ichikawa Danjuro in a pleasure quarter scene, which sold at auction in December 2021 for GBP 21,420.00 (€ 25,549.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF JAPANESE PRINTS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Oyama yau, Tomomae Fudo chojo no zu (Night rain, Oyama, view of Tomomae Fudo Peak), from the series Meisho hakkei (Eight views of famous places) von Utagawa Toyokuni II zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.365,00 (€ 7.674,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Toyokuni II mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ichikawa Danjuro in a pleasure quarter scene beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für GBP 21.420,00 (€ 25.549,57) versteigert wurde.
