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.
