Property of various owners
MORITA SHIRYŪ (1912-1999)
Kai ("Break")
Showa era (1926-1989), dated 1970
Ink brushed on paper, mounted on a board, the reverse bearing the artist's label, titled Kai in Chinese characters, signed Morita Shiryū dated 1970 and sealed
15 3/8 x 23 1/4in (39 x 59cm)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Kai ("Break") by Morita Shiryū was auctioned at Bonhams in March this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 7,012.50 (€ 6,450.06). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Morita Shiryū achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work So - Wilderness in October 2017 with an auction result of HKD 2,740,000.00 (€ 301,569.37).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Kai ("Break") von Morita Shiryū kam im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 7.012,50 (€ 6.450,06) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Morita Shiryū erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit So - Wilderness im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.740.000,00 (€ 301.569,37).
