Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Accumulation, No. I by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in London in September this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 81,900.00 (€ 77,380.95), 17% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Accumulation, No. I von Yayoi Kusama wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 77.380,95) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
