Auction result misses estimated price range
In May this year a collector was able to acquire the work Grapes by Yayoi Kusama for USD 113,400.00 (€ 106,438.90). This price was achieved in the auction A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Grapes von Yayoi Kusama für USD 113.400,00 (€ 106.438,90) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00. 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).
