Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tensei (Clear sky) by Yokoyama Taikan was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 105,000.00 (€ 124,186.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yokoyama Taikan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Miho no Fujisan (Mount Fuji from Miho), which sold at auction in November 2000 for USD 358,000.00 (€ 411,778.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Tensei (Clear sky) von Yokoyama Taikan kam im Mai 2001 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 105.000,00 (€ 124.186,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Yokoyama Taikan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Miho no Fujisan (Mount Fuji from Miho) beobachtet, die im November 2000 für USD 358.000,00 (€ 411.778,24) versteigert wurde.
