This artwork by Utagawa Hiroshige achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2021. In the Japanese Woodblock Prints | Including the Sokolov Collection auction, the work Kambara: Night Snow (Kambara, yoru no yuki) sold for GBP 81,900.00 (€ 95,292.54) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 28,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Utagawa Hiroshige - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi (The fifty-three stations of the Tokaido), which sold at auction in September 2002 for USD 207,500.00 (€ 210,041.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Utagawa Hiroshige erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese Woodblock Prints | Including the Sokolov Collection wurde die Arbeit Kambara: Night Snow (Kambara, yoru no yuki) für GBP 81.900,00 (€ 95.292,54) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 28.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Hiroshige mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi (The fifty-three stations of the Tokaido) beobachtet, die im September 2002 für USD 207.500,00 (€ 210.041,50) versteigert wurde.
