Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Utagawa Kunisada was sold in the Japan-Mania (Online-only) auction at Bonhams in November this year. The price achieved of GBP 704.00 (€ 815.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Kunisada achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Edo period (1615-1868), 1857 in March last year with an auction result of USD 47,812.50 (€ 43,101.51).

Die Arbeit Unknown von Utagawa Kunisada wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion Japan-Mania (Online-only) bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 704,00 (€ 815,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Kunisada erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Edo period (1615-1868), 1857 im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 47.812,50 (€ 43.101,51).
