Endless Life of People
Offset lithograph printed in colours, 2010, from an open edition, on wove paper, unframed
sheet: 400 by 399mm 15¾ by 15¾in

Upper estimate price exceeded by 80 %.

This artwork by Yayoi Kusama achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2021. In the From Japan with Love auction, the work Endless Life of People sold for GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,492.76) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Yayoi Kusama erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion From Japan with Love wurde die Arbeit Endless Life of People für GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.492,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00. 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).
