Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
In March 2004 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Weasel catching fish under the half-moon by Watanabe Kazan. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,075.50 (€ 874.96), 54% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Watanabe Kazan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Autumn grasses in March 2003 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 17,541.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
Im März 2004 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Weasel catching fish under the half-moon von Watanabe Kazan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.075,50 (€ 874,96) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Watanabe Kazan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Autumn grasses im März 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 17.541,28).
