Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Yamaguchi Soken could be acquired at Christies in New York in September 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Courtesan (Tayu) changed hands for USD 1,440.00 (€ 1,135.02) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yamaguchi Soken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three Court Ladies in September 2004 with an auction result of USD 65,725.00 (€ 52,931.46).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Yamaguchi Soken konnte im September 2006 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wechselte die Arbeit Courtesan (Tayu) für USD 1.440,00 (€ 1.135,02) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yamaguchi Soken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three Court Ladies im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 65.725,00 (€ 52.931,46).
