Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Fine Japanese Prints, which included the work Battle at Amagasaki from the Taiheiki (Taiheiki Amagasaki gassen) by Utagawa Sadahide. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,809.33). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Utagawa Sadahide - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yokohama koeki seiyojin kamotsu unso no zu (A view of Western traders transporting merchandise at Yokohama), which sold at auction in September 2002 for USD 17,925.00 (€ 18,144.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Fine Japanese Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Battle at Amagasaki from the Taiheiki (Taiheiki Amagasaki gassen) von Utagawa Sadahide zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.809,33) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Utagawa Sadahide mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yokohama koeki seiyojin kamotsu unso no zu (A view of Western traders transporting merchandise at Yokohama) beobachtet, die im September 2002 für USD 17.925,00 (€ 18.144,55) versteigert wurde.
