Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
The work High Heels for Going to Heaven by Yayoi Kusama was auctioned at Christies in New York in May this year. It achieved a price of USD 882,000.00 (€ 827,858.08), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. 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 47 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit High Heels for Going to Heaven von Yayoi Kusama kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 882.000,00 (€ 827.858,08) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 47%. 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).
