Who knew it was still possible to collect an iconic work of art for under $3
million? Case in point: On Tuesday, Christie’s in New York sold Katsushika
Hokusai’s “Under the Well of the Great Wave off Kanagawa” for $2.8 million—a new
record high for the 1830-32 woodblock print.

Christie’s only expected the work to sell for between $500,000 and $700,000, but
six bidders pushed it higher in a battle that lasted 13 minutes. The telephone
bidder, fielded by Christie’s deputy chairman Tash Perrin, remains anonymous.
Dealers said they might start looking among a younger generation of
contemporary-art collectors who have lately started pivoting to prints,
particularly well-known works that look like bargains.
