Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
In November last year Bonhams in London held the auction Patient Detail, Perfect DesignJapanese Art across the Centuries, which included the work Meiji era (1868-1912), 1894-1896 by Toyohara Chikanobu. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,040.00 (€ 2,363.89), 70% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Toyohara Chikanobu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scenes of beauties and farm life, which sold at auction in December 2021 for GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,763.12).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Patient Detail, Perfect DesignJapanese Art across the Centuries durch, in der auch die Arbeit Meiji era (1868-1912), 1894-1896 von Toyohara Chikanobu zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.040,00 (€ 2.363,89) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Toyohara Chikanobu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Scenes of beauties and farm life beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.763,12) versteigert wurde.
