Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Crows by Shibata Zeshin was sold in the Fine Japanese Prints auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. The price achieved of GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,502.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Shibata Zeshin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Album Of Twelve Lacquer Paintings in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 339,750.00 (€ 251,015.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Crows von Shibata Zeshin wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Fine Japanese Prints bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.502,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Shibata Zeshin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Album Of Twelve Lacquer Paintings im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 339.750,00 (€ 251.015,88).
