Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Secret Of The Forest by Mitsuru Watanabe was sold in the FIRST OPEN | Hong Kong auction at Christies in Hong Kong in March 2016. The price achieved of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,292.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mitsuru Watanabe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Naoko Bathing in the Woods of Rousseau, which sold at auction in May 2016 for HKD 687,500.00 (€ 79,462.28).
