Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Christies held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work Hat by Yayoi Kusama. Here, the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 65,000.00 (€ 56,267.31). 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
Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hat von Yayoi Kusama zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 65.000,00 (€ 56.267,31) 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).
