Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work Unknown by Kikukawa Eizan was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2013. It achieved a price of USD 1,125.00 (€ 877.81), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kikukawa Eizan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Haru no raku (Spring pleasures) in March 2007 with an auction result of USD 13,200.00 (€ 9,869.90).
