Auction result well in line with expectations

The work ink on Japanese paper, sealed by the artist, on the reserve signed, titled and inscribed in Japanese, executed 1970 by Yuichi Inoue was sold in the Fine Japanese Art auction at Sothebys in London in May 2020. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,876.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yuichi Inoue achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shisso (Painted In 1972) in April this year with an auction result of HKD 504,000.00 (€ 514,682.61).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit ink on Japanese paper, sealed by the artist, on the reserve signed, titled and inscribed in Japanese, executed 1970 von Yuichi Inoue wurde im Mai 2020 in der Auktion Fine Japanese Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 13.876,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yuichi Inoue erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shisso (Painted In 1972) im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 504.000,00 (€ 514.682,61).
