Upper estimate price exceeded by 69 %.
In January 2024 Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work Beginning of Love by Yayoi Kusama. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,240.00 (€ 25,506.55), 69% 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 um 69 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2024 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Beginning of Love von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.240,00 (€ 25.506,55) und damit 69% 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).
