Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Work No. 2 by Yamaguchi Takeo was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in May 2018. The price achieved of USD 372,500.00 (€ 319,194.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Yamaguchi Takeo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ho (Crawl) in May last year with an auction result of HKD 12,450,000.00 (€ 1,478,082.19).
