Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An amorous couple under a mosquito net (kaya) by Suzuki Harunobu was sold in the Fine Japanese Prints auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,502.92) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Suzuki Harunobu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Furyu enshoku Maneemon (Fashionable lusty Maneemon) in March 2007 with an auction result of USD 144,000.00 (€ 107,671.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit An amorous couple under a mosquito net (kaya) von Suzuki Harunobu wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Fine Japanese Prints bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.502,92) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Suzuki Harunobu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Furyu enshoku Maneemon (Fashionable lusty Maneemon) im März 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 144.000,00 (€ 107.671,60).
