Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2015 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale), which included the work Beyond The End Of The Century by Yayoi Kusama. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of HKD 5,000,000.00 – 7,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of HKD 5,440,000.00 (€ 664,419.62) could thus just exceed the lower 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2015 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Beyond The End Of The Century von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 5.000.000,00 – 7.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von HKD 5.440.000,00 (€ 664.419,62) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
