Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September this year Bonhams in London held the auction Fine Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Four Oversized Woodblock Prints by Junichiro Sekino. Here, the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,664.00 (€ 1,572.18). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Junichiro Sekino - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yoshida Bungoro, which sold at auction in March 2001 for USD 3,525.00 (€ 4,008.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Fine Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four Oversized Woodblock Prints von Junichiro Sekino zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 1.664,00 (€ 1.572,18) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Junichiro Sekino mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yoshida Bungoro beobachtet, die im März 2001 für USD 3.525,00 (€ 4.008,41) versteigert wurde.
