Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Butterfly by Yayoi Kusama was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 153,600.00 (€ 18,410.66). 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 Butterfly von Yayoi Kusama kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 150.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 153.600,00 (€ 18.410,66) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
