Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2021 Sothebys in Paris held the auction Art Contemporain Evening Sale, which included the work Unitled by Kazuo Shiraga. It changed hands for a price of EUR 920,000.00 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 650,000.00 – 950,000.00. Admittedly, works by Kazuo Shiraga have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Takao in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 8,731,400.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2021 führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Art Contemporain Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unitled von Kazuo Shiraga zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 920.000,00 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 650.000,00 – 950.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kazuo Shiraga auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Takao im Juni 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.731.400,00.
