Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Yayoi Kusama could be acquired at Christies in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II auction, the work Accretions II changed hands for USD 478,800.00 (€ 449,408.67) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yayoi Kusama achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pumpkin in April this year with an auction result of HKD 30,000,000.00 (€ 30,635,869.57).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yayoi Kusama konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II wechselte die Arbeit Accretions II für USD 478.800,00 (€ 449.408,67) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yayoi Kusama erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pumpkin im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 30.000.000,00 (€ 30.635.869,57).
