Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Unknown by Utagawa Yoshiiku was sold in the Japanese Prints, including The B.W. Robinson Collection auction at Christies in London in November 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 3,150.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. 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).

Die Arbeit Unknown von Utagawa Yoshiiku wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion Japanese Prints, including The B.W. Robinson Collection bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 3.150,58) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. 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).
