A top price for Zenzo Sakamoto - as previously expected
In October 2016 Christies in London held the auction Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art, which included the work Work 1 (Form) by Zenzo Sakamoto. 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, Work 1 (Form) is the most expensive artwork by Zenzo Sakamoto that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Work 1 (Form) von Zenzo Sakamoto zur Versteigerung kam. 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 Work 1 (Form) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Zenzo Sakamoto, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
