In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints, which included the work Tiger and Bamboo by Kikukawa Eizan. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,744.83), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kikukawa Eizan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Haru no raku (Spring pleasures), which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 13,200.00 (€ 9,869.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tiger and Bamboo von Kikukawa Eizan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.744,83) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Kikukawa Eizan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Haru no raku (Spring pleasures) beobachtet, die im März 2007 für USD 13.200,00 (€ 9.869,90) versteigert wurde.
