A top price for Shoko Maemoto - as previously expected
The work The Story of HOUJU by Shoko Maemoto was sold in the Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art auction at Christies in London in October 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 41,776.14) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Story of HOUJU is the most expensive artwork by Shoko Maemoto that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The Story of HOUJU von Shoko Maemoto wurde im Oktober 2016 in der Auktion Through a Collector's Eye: The Kenzo Kagami Collection of Postwar Japanese Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 37.500,00 (€ 41.776,14) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Story of HOUJU das teuerste Kunstwerk von Shoko Maemoto, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
