This artwork by Watanabe Seitei achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2005. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Kare Ashi To Oshidori (Mandarin Ducks And Drying Reeds) sold for USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,035.62) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Watanabe Seitei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The wife of Enya Takasada at her toilette, which sold at auction in March 2000 for USD 4,025.00 (€ 4,204.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Watanabe Seitei erzielte im März 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Kare Ashi To Oshidori (Mandarin Ducks And Drying Reeds) für USD 2.640,00 (€ 2.035,62) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Watanabe Seitei mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The wife of Enya Takasada at her toilette beobachtet, die im März 2000 für USD 4.025,00 (€ 4.204,09) versteigert wurde.
