Auction result well in line with expectations
The work I Carry on Living with the Pumpkins by Yayoi Kusama was sold in the 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November last year. The price achieved of HKD 17,010,000.00 (€ 2,110,802.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 13,800,000.00 – 18,800,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit I Carry on Living with the Pumpkins von Yayoi Kusama wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 17.010.000,00 (€ 2.110.802,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 13.800.000,00 – 18.800.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
