A top price for Zenzo Sakamoto - as previously expected
The work Kochiku (Construction) by Zenzo Sakamoto was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2016. The price achieved of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 62,664.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Kochiku (Construction) is the most expensive artwork by Zenzo Sakamoto that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Kochiku (Construction) von Zenzo Sakamoto kam im Oktober 2016 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 62.664,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Kochiku (Construction) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Zenzo Sakamoto, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
