Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Jinbutsu zoga (Collection of figure sketches) by Watanabe Kazan was sold in the Japanese And Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 4,375.00 (€ 2,768.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Watanabe Kazan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Autumn grasses in March 2003 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 17,541.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Jinbutsu zoga (Collection of figure sketches) von Watanabe Kazan wurde im März 2008 in der Auktion Japanese And Korean Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 2.768,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Watanabe Kazan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Autumn grasses im März 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 17.541,28).
