Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Two Albums of Woodblock Prints by Utagawa Hiroshige III was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,423.52) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Utagawa Hiroshige III have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Scenes of Tokyo and views of Mount Fuji in December 2021 with an auction result of GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,763.12).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Two Albums of Woodblock Prints von Utagawa Hiroshige III kam im Juni 2017 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.423,52) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Utagawa Hiroshige III auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Scenes of Tokyo and views of Mount Fuji im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.763,12).
