ALBANY, N.Y. — On August 28, Mooneys Auction offered more than 325 lots from the estate collection of Dr Hans Toch, a founding faculty member at the School of Criminal Justice at UAlbany. Toch’s collection had been amassed over decades of collecting and had an emphasis on Asian and Americana. Leading the group and bringing $10,440 from an online bidder was an early Twentieth Century woodblock print of Jojo Temple at Shiba by Kawase Hasui (Japanese, 1883-1957). The framed print was from the “Twenty Views of Toyko” series and attracted interest from all over, according to Bob Meringolo.
