Despite a disappointment, a good price for Yutokusai Gyokkei
When the work A five-case lacquer inro by Yutokusai Gyokkei was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,302.90). Despite this disappointing result, A five-case lacquer inro is the most expensive artwork by Yutokusai Gyokkei that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Yutokusai Gyokkei
Als die Arbeit A five-case lacquer inro von Yutokusai Gyokkei im März 2021 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.302,90) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A five-case lacquer inro das teuerste Kunstwerk von Yutokusai Gyokkei, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
