Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Kaikai Kiki News; Flower Superflat; Field Of Smiling Flowers; Open Your Hands Wide; Kaikai Kiki And Me – The Shocking Truth; & Flowers, Flowers, Flowers by Takashi Murakami was worth HKD 325,000.00 (€ 36,780.07) to a buyer in March 2016. This price was achieved in the auction FIRST OPEN | Hong Kong at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Takashi Murakami achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work My Lonesome Cowboy in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 15,161,000.00 (€ 9,743,573.26).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Kaikai Kiki News; Flower Superflat; Field Of Smiling Flowers; Open Your Hands Wide; Kaikai Kiki And Me – The Shocking Truth; & Flowers, Flowers, Flowers von Takashi Murakami war einem Käufer im März 2016 HKD 325.000,00 (€ 36.780,07) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion FIRST OPEN | Hong Kong bei Christies in Hong Kong erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 80.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Takashi Murakami erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit My Lonesome Cowboy im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.161.000,00 (€ 9.743.573,26).
