Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work For Venice Biennal(e) by Yayoi Kusama was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 2,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 2,520,000.00 (€ 302,049.93). 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 For Venice Biennal(e) von Yayoi Kusama kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 2.200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 2.520.000,00 (€ 302.049,93) 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).
