This artwork by Hiroshi Sugimoto achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design auction, the work Eiffel Tower - Gustave Eiffel, 1998 sold for USD 107,100.00 (€ 98,509.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hiroshi Sugimoto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Sea, Ozuluce; Yellow Sea, Cheju; Red Sea, Safaga in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,888,000.00 (€ 1,403,404.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hiroshi Sugimoto erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design wurde die Arbeit Eiffel Tower - Gustave Eiffel, 1998 für USD 107.100,00 (€ 98.509,93) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hiroshi Sugimoto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Sea, Ozuluce; Yellow Sea, Cheju; Red Sea, Safaga im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.888.000,00 (€ 1.403.404,45).
