Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Utagawa Yoshiiku achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2003. In the Japanese Art & Design auction, the work Picture of the Prosperity of an English Trading House: the interior of Jardine Matheson's emporium in Yokohama sold for GBP 1,912.00 (€ 2,747.65) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Yoshiiku achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Artisans And Events Of The Twelve Months in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 52,500.00 (€ 44,707.49).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Utagawa Yoshiiku erzielte im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese Art & Design wurde die Arbeit Picture of the Prosperity of an English Trading House: the interior of Jardine Matheson's emporium in Yokohama für GBP 1.912,00 (€ 2.747,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Yoshiiku erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Artisans And Events Of The Twelve Months im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 44.707,49).
