Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

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 Toka Gunkyu No Zu (Wisteria And Group of Pigeons) sold for USD 4,200.00 (€ 3,238.49) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Watanabe Seitei; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The wife of Enya Takasada at her toilette sold at auction in March 2000 with the realized price of USD 4,025.00 (€ 4,204.09).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% 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 Toka Gunkyu No Zu (Wisteria And Group of Pigeons) für USD 4.200,00 (€ 3.238,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Watanabe Seitei; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The wife of Enya Takasada at her toilette im März 2000 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 4.025,00 (€ 4.204,09).
