In March this year Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Tokyo Comedy by Nobuyoshi Araki. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 37,800.00 (€ 43,004.80), 26% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nobuyoshi Araki - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work From Close to Range, which sold at auction in April 2014 for USD 191,000.00 (€ 137,707.28).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tokyo Comedy von Nobuyoshi Araki zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 43.004,80) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Nobuyoshi Araki mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit From Close to Range beobachtet, die im April 2014 für USD 191.000,00 (€ 137.707,28) versteigert wurde.
