This artwork by Yokoyama Taikan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2002. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Fujisan (Mount Fuji) sold for USD 35,850.00 (€ 36,289.10) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yokoyama Taikan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Miho no Fujisan (Mount Fuji from Miho) in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 358,000.00 (€ 411,778.24).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Yokoyama Taikan erzielte im September 2002 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Fujisan (Mount Fuji) für USD 35.850,00 (€ 36.289,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yokoyama Taikan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Miho no Fujisan (Mount Fuji from Miho) im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 358.000,00 (€ 411.778,24).
