Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Utagawa Hiroshige achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2008. In the Japanese & Korean Art auction, the work Sumidagawa Suijin no mori Masaki (Masaki and the Suijin Grove by the Sumida River) Mama no momiji, Tekona no yashiro Tsugihashi (Maple trees at Mama with Tekona Shrine and Tsugihashi Bridge) Onmayagashi sold for USD 3,500.00 (€ 2,485.62) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Hiroshige achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi (The fifty-three stations of the Tokaido) in September 2002 with an auction result of USD 207,500.00 (€ 210,041.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Utagawa Hiroshige erzielte im September 2008 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese & Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Sumidagawa Suijin no mori Masaki (Masaki and the Suijin Grove by the Sumida River) Mama no momiji, Tekona no yashiro Tsugihashi (Maple trees at Mama with Tekona Shrine and Tsugihashi Bridge) Onmayagashi für USD 3.500,00 (€ 2.485,62) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Hiroshige erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi (The fifty-three stations of the Tokaido) im September 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 207.500,00 (€ 210.041,50).
