Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Unknown by Ryuryukyo Shinsai was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,625.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ryuryukyo Shinsai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Edo Period (1615-1868), Circa 1820 in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 37,812.50 (€ 32,661.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Ryuryukyo Shinsai kam im November 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.625,49) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ryuryukyo Shinsai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Edo Period (1615-1868), Circa 1820 im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.812,50 (€ 32.661,74).
