A top price for Takashi Murakami
When the work My Lonesome Cowboy by Takashi Murakami was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 15,161,000.00 (€ 9,743,573.26). This high result makes My Lonesome Cowboy the most expensive artwork by Takashi Murakami that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Takashi Murakami
Als die Arbeit My Lonesome Cowboy von Takashi Murakami im Mai 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 4.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.161.000,00 (€ 9.743.573,26) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht My Lonesome Cowboy zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Takashi Murakami, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
