Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Yamamoto Shoun was sold in the Japanese Art and Design auction at Christies in London in November 2008. The price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,231.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yamamoto Shoun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Twenty-four woodblock prints depicting women, which sold at auction in May 2021 for GBP 9,450.00 (€ 10,995.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Yamamoto Shoun wurde im November 2008 in der Auktion Japanese Art and Design bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.231,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Yamamoto Shoun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Twenty-four woodblock prints depicting women beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für GBP 9.450,00 (€ 10.995,29) versteigert wurde.
