Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Utagawa Toyoharu was sold in the Japanese Ceramics & Works of Art auction at Christies in London in November 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,275.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Utagawa Toyoharu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ten beauties of Edo in March 2004 with an auction result of USD 19,120.00 (€ 15,554.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Utagawa Toyoharu wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion Japanese Ceramics & Works of Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 2.275,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Utagawa Toyoharu auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ten beauties of Edo im März 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 19.120,00 (€ 15.554,83).
