This artwork by Yamakawa Shuho achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2020. In the From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints auction, the work Red Collar (Akai eri) sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,854.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yamakawa Shuho - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dancers, which sold at auction in September 2007 for USD 15,000.00 (€ 10,549.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
