Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Zhu Gui, the Dry-land Crocodile (Kanchi Kotsuritsu Shuki) by Utagawa Kuniyoshi was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,363.66), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Kuniyoshi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mitsukuni Defying The Skeleton Spectre Conjured Up By Princess Takiyasha (Souma No Furudairi Yokai Ga Shadokuro To Tatakau Oya Notarou Mitsukuni) in November 2019 with an auction result of GBP 200,000.00 (€ 234,848.90).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Zhu Gui, the Dry-land Crocodile (Kanchi Kotsuritsu Shuki) von Utagawa Kuniyoshi kam im Juli 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.363,66) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 67%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Kuniyoshi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mitsukuni Defying The Skeleton Spectre Conjured Up By Princess Takiyasha (Souma No Furudairi Yokai Ga Shadokuro To Tatakau Oya Notarou Mitsukuni) im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 200.000,00 (€ 234.848,90).
