Artwork auctioned at 11 times the upper estimate price
When the work Taikyo (Before the mirror Red geisha), 1916.7 by Ito Shinsui was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 47,500.00 (€ 34,923.90). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ito Shinsui; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Taikyo (Before the mirror [Red geisha)|AID524033] sold at auction in December 2021 with the realized price of GBP 52,920.00 (€ 63,122.46).
