A top price for Kusakabe Kimbei - as previously expected
The work Japanese landscapes and portrait studies, circa 1880s-90s by Kusakabe Kimbei was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,393.80) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Japanese landscapes and portrait studies, circa 1880s-90s is the most expensive artwork by Kusakabe Kimbei that we have observed at auctions so far.
